does anyone have the Hydro Shield cover on there CAI or is thinking of putting one on in the winter months?

is it worth it or do you think we dont need it...

 

I've had mine on since i put my CAI on, and its on just in case

 

Always better to be safe than sorry right? I'm putting it on mine when I get it!

 

does it restrick the air flow? or anything like that?

and were in toronto did you get it ? the only place i know of is online...

 

What does the shield actually do??

 

its like a condom for the filter... it jsut pervents water from getting into the filter...

I will restrict a little but you won't notice, ant i got it a store in Ajax

 

FYI The GMPP air intake for the Solstice has a cover for the filter that says "GMPP" on it. However, it is down in the nose of the Solstice and is prone to getting water infiltration much like the fenderwells for our cars do. It is probably not a bad idea to do if you live in an area that is prone to flooding or heavy rainfall.

 

I have one. Love it and highly recomend it. Your filter will love you for it.

 

I had a k&n filter/drycharger on my injen for my 2.4L and when I had the cover on and when it rained the water would run down the tubing and collect in the cover like a water trap....when I took it off to clean the bag/filter, the bag was full of water and the bottom half of the filter was white....so I've since taken off the cover and cleaned and re-oiled the filter I have had no problems with water since,If it rains alot I just take it off and re-0il it to be safe.

 

yea i think i might get one for the winter

 

It won't hurt!

 

I just put on my injen CAI a week ago and was wondering where you can get a maintenance kit so i can re oil/ clean it?

 

i was told you could use the K&N cleaning package that you can get at any auto store..

 

how often do you clean your injen CAIs?

 

can u use this on any filer, i got the jbp intake with a vibrant cone filter?
alos how much oil do u guys use when cleaning the filters, im gonna do mine in the spring, and i dont wanna make my maf go nuts lol.

 

unless you're driving in 4 feet of water, you don't need it...
