You may have already gotten it, of course, but if not I love the Injen CAI in mine. The only downside (if yours is the same one) is that it puts the intake right next to the fenderwell (meaning if you drive in heavy rain or through a huge puddle you're likely to suck water into the engine).


As long as you're careful about it (and aren't missing your fenderwell liner on the right side) you should be fine though.

 

Thanks for the reply.I am going to see the car at about 3pm cst. The owner said it sounds great because of the cai but now i'm wondering if it ever sucked water in. If it did would it just dry out or kill the engine? Worse thought is that it would do something to the ECU and not restart. What do you think?

 

Thanks
Going to see the car in about 2 hours

 

 

Great...I will definetly check for those two items. Headliner might not be too hard to check for that's for sure. Guess look for defroster wiring
Thanks hope this deal works out

 

What do you think?

relax...thinking a lot is fine.. over thinking wastes energy...

I run a CAI, anyone who does, usually is very very aware of water.. avoid it properly and it does not present a concern. DO Not enter deep water... learn about it... or, you can change it out easy... he has the factory air box..




remember, we have a 150 picture minimum.... so don't be shy.... i'm only kidding on the minimum limit... take a pic or two.. we do love'm...

 

LOL.....This forum is great.
Thanks

 

Hah, agreed!

Hope it worked out for you.

 

Like others have said, don't worry too much about the cold air intake. I have an AEM V2 cold air intake on my car (sits in the same place as the Injen if I'm not mistaken) and I drive it literally every day, have been for the past 4 years. That being said, I've driven in several rain storms, some of them being torrential downpours, driving through deep puddles and pushing water over the hood before...never had a single problem

Just be mindful where you drive and you'll be ok.

Looking forward to your comments on the car.

 

Ok, I drove the car and it is sound as can be. Good soft top, good factory hardtop with headliner...super car BUT has a short shifter on it (owner has original parts). Nearly impossibe to put it in reverse. Amazingly hard to push down and engage reverse but once in reverse no clicking or any problem driving any body have a short shifter installed and have the same problem.
I plan to get the vehicle tomorrow unless this difficulty engaging reverse is a big deal. Just have to eat more Wheaties maybe.
