to my understanding they really aint needed unless you just want one.. not sayin they dont work but you'd have to be in some pretty deep water to actually have to worry hydro-lockin the motor.. if your going through water that deep then you need to get a big truck cuz the balts wasnt meant for that..

 

its like a condom, i'd rather have it and not need it, than need it, and not have it.....

 

Yea, that's the mentality I have toward it lol.

 

llol theres so many threads on this.. and theres A LOT of supporting vendors on this site that sells them

 

Unless your intake is exposed directly to the elements (aka outside your car) you won't need one like me

 

www.TurboTechRacing.com

We have them in stock, and it will ship right away, we have all 3 colors ready to ship.

 

it seems that if you put in a CAI that got air from down low, you would want to put one in for extra precaution, if the intake costs $200, this piece is well worth it

 

They hydroshield wont help you if you submerge your air filter.

If you're in enough water to submerge your airfilter, you have FAR more problems than hydrolocking your engine.

 

my intake was $70 and i keep check on the filter since in down in the bumper now and the only thing thats got on it was dust just like if it was under the hood.

 

When I took my Fugita off for the winter I found clear evidence that water was getting through the filter, so I invested in a hydro filter. I may not need it, but I figure better safe than sorry.

 

I'm pretty sure I bought mine through Turbo Tech Racing. Everyone else wanted the same or more for a hydroshield.

Oh geez. WHY?

 

Ok I managed to find a Hydrashield and put it in tonight, After pulling the innerfender out of the way I was kinda surprised to find the filter soaked with water and it hadn't even been raining that hard and maybe a ten minute drive to work. I would suggest you get a K&N, Injen, AEM, whatever hydra shield just get one. Oh and her is the part number that was on the top of the card for the package. A824742 and the one I got was the X-1033BLK

 

my stock filter was dripping with water and I didn't even go through puddles

 

My filter has been wet , the inner fender compartment isn't water tight . If you have a SS/SC and an open airbox or intake it's a good idea to use a hydroshield.
