Also, what about if the roads are flooded? I've read driving through may create a wave which can infiltrate the CAI too.

i wouldnt recommend driving on any flooded road... a lil bit of spray up into the engine bay is fine.. the water will just be spread evenly through the cylinders, wouldnt be enough to cause hydrolock... however, a wave of water going over the mouth of the pod, that would be very bad! just dont drive thru deep puddles, simple

Get a generic or AEM "Bypass filter".. its like a pod midpipe that you pt in the engine bay

it's restricted on purpose so your intake would come from the actual pod... air would really only go through the bypass if the entire pod was submerged.....

i dont know why people get so up in arms about 'oh but the cold air intake can cause hydrolock".just keep away from flooded roads etc....seriously when do you go through water over 15 cms deep,leave it to the 4wds,CAI ftw

^^^the road floods? and um.. duno bout the weather up there but its been flash flooding here... an otherwise familiar road could screw things... had it happen to a mate ages ago.. luckily car stalled before it took in water... removed all the plugs and it was sweet.

Hey guys,

Just wondering what the maximum dB is for an exhaust?

Regards, Daz

90dB for a 03/04 car

thanks, tinker

So another question whether your intake is illegal or not?

If you were running a DRY SRI intake in your engine bay which is not enclosed, that would be condemned illegal in NSW? am i correct?

Thanks,

yeh hah =) but i have a problem the rampod is so high up i can't enclose it properly. It actually touches the soft spongy material just underneath the bonnet lid. Otherwise i will need to replace the rubber mount to a slightly shallow one which is mounted on the battery mount.

Need to see if i can find a narrow pod replacement.

Any guys have any suggestions?
