I wonder why my dealer is saying 1 day, i agree w/ you guys that its not out yet, i guess i will find out next week when i order it, then they tell me the next day its not out yet. Then i think they should give it to me for free....lol

Ihave a question, I heard that there's a MAJOR DOWNSIDE on the cold air induction systems. Since it's a COLD AIR intake and not a regular intake, it'll be longer so it can be extended to the near bottom of the car and get the colder air thus giving it more HP. BUT! The major downside is that if you come across a puddle or something like that, there's a good chance that the water will get sucked into the engine from the intake since it's so close to the floor and ultimately destroying the engine. So i was told that the only way to prevent this is to put it in Neutral and turn off ur engine, and turn it back on when u have passed the puddle. Can anyone tell me how true this is?

the aem CAI has a bypass valve on it, so don't worry about hydrolocking

bypass valves do not always work. especially if you dip into a deep puddle.

900 times out of 901 the bypass will work.

And if the dealer sells it for your car, then they will have to take care of it.

obviously you have never used an AEM intake with a BV in a wet climate then, have you?
