CAI question

[timmtc]

I'm thinking of getting a cold air intake, but I was wondering if it would be better to go with a short ram intake, for one main reason. I heard that CAI are not good in places with alot of rain, beacuse the water can get into the engine, is that true? I live in Vancouver, where it rains 3-4 times a week in fall/winter/early spring. If i get a good cold air intake, like an AEM will it be safe in teh rain, or should i just get a short ram intake.

Get the CAI!! A short ram intake will suck up all the hot air in the engine bay which is not good for the performance of your engine.
