What's the deal? If you run through a puddle your engine will blow? I have heard that the water needs to be as deep as the top of the rim on your tire before you have to start worrying. Is this true? Anyone with experience in this happening?

Ive heard some stories....but I just think if your somewhat careful when you drive in the rain you won't have anything to worry about. Honestly since CAI's are worth jacksquat in the horsepower category, just get a K&N filter and screw the chances of hydrolock you get with a fenderwell intake.

ive heard of people hydrolocking there engines with the fender well one, but if the water is that high your asking for problems.

So you guys are saying that if your intake sucks in water your engine might blow? I have a BBK fenderwell, and I didnt know that! evenexchange, theres been a lot of rain on the coast of connceticut where I'm at lately!

Rain doesn't matter, we're talking about you driving through a damn x amount off feet tall puddle..in which case you deserve to have your engine shot and your self respect shattered.

I have never heard of that. I had a cold air intake on my old mustang and got stuck on a road where a river had flooded the street and the water was up to like the top of the tires, and the cops were forcing people to drive through it and i didn't have any problems. I would assume that if your not aiming for the puddles to hard you'll be alright. But if it is true i guess i got freakin lucky.

you have to be going threw it fast. and alot of water needs to got threw the filter and past the throttle body really hard to do on accident. i live in miami where it rains alot and floods u guys are okay lol
