CAI--brings in cold air, adds performance, adds sound, but, since it goes down to the wheel well, if it is raining or you hit a big enough puddle, it will suck water in, thus resulting in damage to your engine. This might not be accurate, so please, someone correct me if I am wrong, because this is what holds me back from purchasing an intake.
actually.. its kind of a myth.. but short rams are supposed to help throttle response quite abit, and torque numbers, but as I said, its a myth.
If anything, the SRI adds more sound then the CAI.
And its not really just splashing, but if it gets underwater.. then yeah , itll damage the engine.
Light splashing wont do anything.
