hey guys im installin my injen cai im just wondering if a hydro sheild is a must or i dont really need it i just wondering cause some people say i need others dont i never ran a hydro sheild on my aem it was fine

snow melting right now lil water around

 

i would get one where you live

 

i live in canada and the snow is melting, i go through alot of water. I dont use one. Never had an issue

 

Some people have issues, some don't.

I'd get one.

 

CAn Never be too safe :

 

i had one on my car when i was in wyoming

 

Personal preference. I didn't have one for the first few months I had my Injen but then I thought about it and spending the $30 or whatever to potentially save however many thousands of damage made a lot of sense. It's one of those things that hopefully you'll never 'need' but it's there if you do.

 

ill pick on up next month i just took it for a run with intake ******* s.c whine sounded like sex thanks guys

 

there is no reason not to spend the 20 dollars for it. Because if you do get water, you will regret it.

 

i never have used one... and it gets really wet here lol..... a splash wont hurt it, are u planing on sinking ur cobalt?

 

yeah im gonna get one when i get money

 

Good call.

 

but im gotta buy a catless dp first than hydro shield

 

wrong

a splash will draw water across your MAF causing false readings that lead to bogging and jerking, water in your intake, and surface rust/possible destruction of your MAF

I found this out the hard way, I'm glad I can drive my car when it rains now..

 

yeha this is true thats why i decided to get one prob gonnna order it next week hopefully

 

sorry RED my intake has been splashed many times..... and i have zero effects............ the only way i would ever use a hydro shield is if i had the aem dryflow filter... as its dry, and not oiled, so cant repel water the way oiled ones can.

 

last summer i had dryflow aem ran it all sumer with no problems meh guess i was lucky haha

 

theres the difference

I was on a Dryflow

I could pull mine off after a rainy day and wring water out of it

 

not needed. I've never had a problem either. Just dont hit puddles.

 

this is true but i would rather be safe than sorry i guess

 

Injen Hydro Shields are always a good idea

 

lots of people have trouble driving in the rain, just depends on the car
