CAI for cold and wet weather?

[rxs-s 2002]

Not totally sure if a CAI is such a good thing for where i live. In Montreal, we get wide range of weather ( very wet to dry and from 30 to -30 deg celcius). I was wondering what you guys with yor CAI's.

Q1) In winter do you remove you CAI because its' just too cold and could cause bad starts.

Q2) Will a bypass valve eliminate 100% of water from entering the engine?

The first generation CAI from AEM wouldn't be the greatest choice for you because that would suck up some water. But the new AEM V2 sits just about the stock intake box. Unless you plan on driving through 2-3 feet of water you will be fine in that respect. And as to the cold winter tempatures I cant say for sure but the colder the better bro. I used AEM as an example because thats the only intake system that should be put into and RSX.
