I am assuming going through puddles is not a problem with a CAI in our vehicles. My friend cautioned me about them, but he has a Mazda 3 with intake and it is routed down to the wheelwell. I told him I don't see how mine could cause an issue considering the placement and that I have never read anything about that issue on these forums. Am I wrong? Yes, very noobish I know.

 

Shouldn't be an issue as long as it's not moved from it's original location. On my Eclipse if I wanted a CAI it would have to be routed down below the engine, and in that case yes it could suck up water if you go through a deep puddle (few people on the eclipse forums can attest to that lol).

 

Thanks for the quick response, just looking to get the airaid or JLT so nothing crazy here.

 

State Farm bought a new (used) engine for my wife's 2003 Escape after some asshat in a monster-type pickup roared by her in a flooded parking lot. Didn't hurt him a bit... killed that Escape dead.

 

Totally different setup on these cars vs. most of the Mazda line. No need to worry. If you drive your car into a boat ramp front first, however, you might have a small problem.

I have a Steeda intake and tuner for sale if you're interested.

 

Hey, thanks but right after I was told It's fine I bought the airaid and tundra combo

 

Hey, Overboost pm me a price on the tuner and steeda cai please.
