I want to get an intake, im looking at the injen which was refered to me from another member of the site. A few of my friends r tellin me that i shouldnt get it because if i run over a puddle water could get sucked through into my engine, what are the chances of this happening, i live in nyc any in the North east hear of problems like that?

anyone with feedback would be dope.

 

Comes down to driver error, if you see a big puddle go around it. Other than that a little water wont hurt it...

 

Just be careful with a cold air intake and you'll be fine. It takes ALOT of water to hydrolock you engine. Plus, you can always put a hyrdoshield on the filter to be extra safe. Its a pre filter that keeps water off the filter to a certain degree. I've had an AEM cold air intake on my 2.4SS since October '06 and i've daily driven it in rain all the time, and never had any major problems with it. You should be fine.

 

ok newb. if you use the SEARCH function you won't have to make new threads in the ADVANCED performance section. Or better yet, you won't have to make a thread at all. This is a very worn out topic.

Here is a very QUICK search that should answer all your questions about Intakes.

lol^^ but yea ushouldnt have any problems.. if u do u pretty much deserve them.. i mean if you see a huge puddle dont go through it.. coommon sense.. if ur just drivin in rain u shouldnt have any major problems whatsoever, possibly a cel.. but if ur at all worried just get a hydroshield.. i've had mine on for 3 months and have had no problems at all

 

injen > anything else

 

AGREED.

i got the injen for my 2.2 and i love the sound of the CAI..and i also have the option of converting to SRI

 

I did the airbox mod. due to the fact that im short on money but if i did buy an intake it would be injen.

 

Wow. No wonder people hate to start threads. It's comments like that that are stupid. The guy has a question, a legitimate question, and you rip his head off. The guy is obviously new to the site with only 12 posts. Easy already. They are trying to learn just like you did when you entered the site. If you don't like the thread then don't go into and comment on it. It's just that easy.

 

I'm not trying to rip his head off. but he clearly didn't read any rules or do any searches before he posted, which would have been even easier than just posting a question in the wrong section. I think we can all agree that I contribute quite a bit to the forum.

That is at the top of this section. Don't know how anyone could miss it.

you do contribute a lot to the site. just be a leader, and help these new guys out. You always put your two sense in when a new person posts a thread that is old. Annoying, yes! But i did it also, and you probably did too.

 

maybe I did, but I don't remember. I know I use the Search A LOT because I am always looking for the cheapest mod with the biggest result. Every mod I've done has been thought about for weeks and months on end before I bought it. I'm a very strategic thinker. And I did help him out by being a leader, lol. I posted a crap load of results and then I posted the rules for this particular section illustrating that he posted this topic in the wrong section.

 

**** all i did was post a question lmao thnx srowler9 u got my back...sorry i didnt read the rules about posting questions, i will do so in the future

 

sorry to come off harsh. It's just that seeing the same threads regenerate day after day starts to get old and annoying. I do a lot searching and find a TON of answers. this forum as well as the redline forums contains TONS of knowledge.

 

Just Get A Hydro By Pass Shield
It Prevents Water To Get To Your Filter

 

im not sure if this is the right place to post this but where can i get a hydro bypass shield?

 

i think he means a bypass valve.. and i'm sure u can find it on one of the vendors sites here.. prolly ttr or someone has it.. i'd just go with the hydroshield if i were you though

 

cool thanks alot, the senior members on this forum are really helpful

 

I've had an Injen on my 05 SC/SS for years without a hydro sheild, I live just outside Pitts
and have never had a problem with this intake! Yes I drive in the rain and have gone through some pretty deep puddles.
I also have one on my 07 SC/SS.
Watch out for rubbing where the tube goes through the inner fender, some have had a problem here, if you don't adjust the tube just right when you install, it will rub a hole in the tube.

Pull the wheel well skirt to install, very easy!

 

Coming from a guy with an Injen.....

Really, intakes are all about the same. They're all pieces of aluminum with couplers and a filter on the end. If your buying from a reputable brand like AEM, Injen, Fujita or K&N, they'll all be basically the same and will yield you the same results, or results close enough you would never know the difference. Everyone is gonna say what they have is the "best". But I highly doubt anyone has personally tried every intake out there on their car with dyno #'s and stuff to go along with it. If a 2.2, 2.4 and 2.0 owner all go buy alllll the intakes for their cars, test them in identical conditions and come back with results, that'll be the only way you know "what's best". Otherwise, its just an opinion.

My AEM gets the job done well enough and that's all that matters to me.

 

i ordered an injen last night

 

nice you'll be impressed on how much louder the wine from your supercharger gets when u really step on it

 

awsome i cant wait to hear it...the installation isnt hard right, for someone who really does not know how...i mean it pretty much just clips right?...i hope lol

 

https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/supporting-vendor-deals-group-purchases-133/raw-3-ss-intake-99525/

just buy this

 

yea it's not hard at all.. takes probably about an hour though if i remeber right.. theres a nice how-to on it in the how-to section which takes you along step-by-step.. the longest part is takin the wheel well off and puttin it back on.. it can be kind of a PIA but other than that it's simple
