oh wow. took you about 5 days to find out and come up with a comment that about 40 other people have said. dont you feel special. i dont care what anyone says. i underestimated the amount of water and shit happened. At least i was smart and had full coverage on the car so my insurance is paying for it all to get fixed. not to mention my insurance agent said it wont affect my payments at all. So fuck all of you who think you can be a smart ass and flame me about it if you want.u had full coverage on the car because u owed on it, so u werent SMART for having it, it was nessary. for 2 maby u and alot of other people should not have a COLD AIR intake get that damn thing outa the bumper. stupidest thing ever are those intakes. but do as u please.
and if you are putting that outboard motor in ur car its tiny hahah

The filter has to be completely submerged to cause damage, and most people are conscience enough to think twice with or without a CAI. This is the 2nd car I have heard of locally that has had issues with water and CAI's out of ~200 I have sold. Don't be scared of CAI's, be scared of potentially deep amounts of water.
Sorry for the misfortune.

in the 12+years of being in auto business I have seen alot of cars suck in water...mostly driver error...but if the customer is that stupid to drive in deep water and the intake is lower then stock you cant tell me that it wouldnt aid to water ingestion

No water damage other than the engine?No damage other then the engine so far. not sure yet tho since my car is still in pieces. waiting on a few parts to come in and the tech is on vacation till wed now. So once he gets everything together, we get to see if she will run and run correctly
