  • cold air intakes + heavy rain???

    Hey i tried search and couldnt find anything so...

    i am very interested in the stage 3 Dr. Speed intake but im worried about it letting water into my engine when its raining really hard. Could this happen or am i just paranoid?

    if there is any possibility of issues ill probly just go with the stage 2.

    also, i checked on the website.. does anyone know when i would be able to get one? they are 'out of stock'

    thanks

    Unless you drive into a puddle of water deeper then what your foglamp is high then maybe. But just by it raining hard will not be a problem. Just dont submerge the cone filter you will be fine.

      this has been answered...just probably hard to find

      and arent you in luck that they guy that owns drspeed, is the admin of this site..haha

      i think he said just a few days difference, but he will comment on that...those with stage 3 can pick the rest up

      as far as i read...it isnt gonna get water in it

        i've driven in rain already that was so hard that i prob shouldnt have even been on the road and i haven't had any trouble with my stage 3...i've checked it already and there's hardly any sign that water even gets into the area where the filter goes, it's sealed off rather well

              you're not gonna have any problems unless, as mentioned, the filter is completely submerged in water while you're driving. Raindrops hitting it won't affect anything.

                If you are very paranoid you could always get the K and N prefilter which protects the filter from big dirt and some water.

                Or you could get a cold air box...?
