CAI in cold winter weather..bad???
I just put on a Vibrant CAI about a month ago and its gonna snow here pretty damn quick, within a month or so is my guess. anyways, i was wondering if i should put my stock intake back on for winter? The coldest it got here last winter was -40 Degrees CELCIUS. I shouldn't really be gong through any water this winter but will the cold weather f*** it up a little or what? I am dumb, please help me. oh and it doesn't have a bypass valve or anything like that.....thx

So it would probably be wiser to switch back to stock for winter then?

I haven't had a problem with mine yet. I've had it on for about 2 years. The winters in Ky aren't the worst but do get bad. Good luck!

I've had my CAI on for 2 winters; no problem.
Maybe the short ram acts more like a CAI in the winter because the air's so cold that the temp @ short intake isn't significantly warmer, like it would be during hot weather. ??? Quote:
holy crap! that's way colder than -40 degrees FAHRENHEIT! |
