none are carb legal. no problems with water on any of them unless you would willingly drive into 2 feet of standing water.

nothing is legal...

...come on search this please...

the tC air box has a charcoal filter that isnt replaced in any of he aftermarket intakes CAI or SRI. if they did put that in... there would be minimal gain in HP and TQ.

true for the tC (for the moment anyway) but not for most older cars...a lot of SRI are CARB legal and are listed on the CARB website

The only CARB legal intake for the tC is the factory intake.
