<![CDATA[CAI vs RAI?]]>i'm wondering about cold air intakes vs ram air intakes.. i've heard that cold air intakes can screw with your engine and in the winter it would take forever to "warm up". is that really a problem? so for up here should i go with ram air or cold air?

Thanks

(I saw a kid in a honda a couple weeks ago in Moorhead with this - water literally running off his filter)

if so, waste of money. Just keep the stock airbox

In all honesty though, that's more worth the money then going and buying an AEM or ingen setup. $40 > $300 for a 2.5hp increase.

Only real problem you run into while running a CAI is you run the risk of hydrolocking. odds of this happening are fairly low. you would have to go through a pretty damn big puddle but it is still a possibility. the whole taking forever to warm up in the winter thing, no.
