I drove through Athens, OH, the other day, helping my brother move. There was a massive storm- we're talking slow down to 10 mph on the freeway just to be able to see. Anyway, after I got off the freeway, I saw this guy in a Civic, lowered, big rims, etc. Guess where he was? Right in the middle of at least 8" of water. I hope his engine wasn't fuct, but my guess is it was. Lots of people say that a short ram intake with the resonator removed will make as much or nearly as much power as a CAI anyway, so why risk it for 1 or 2 horsepower? Intakes just make a cool noise, so keep the filter up where it belongs and you'll be fine. Imagine how much it would suck to constantly worry about blowing up your car everytime a big storm comes through.
