CAI is probably the best way to go although I was talking to someone that I work with and they mentions to get a short ram instead.. Something about rain/wetness// I have no idea.. just copnfused me

I had my CAI on until November, and went through many a deep puddle without so much as a hint of water problems.Get a CAI if that's what you want. You shouldn't have any problems.

Nope. No need to remove it. I removed mine because I was unable to do filter maintenance properly. It needed 24-48 hours to dry after washing, and I needed the car to be available in far less than that. I decided to just nix the CAI for the winter and I'll deal with it in spring, when it's WARMER!

I've been looking at the K&N Typhoon short-ram myself... if only because it seems like it would be less of a hassle to deal with down the line. (See: Filter removal)There've been a lot of arguments over which is better, and my conclusion is this: Either way, you're gonna get more air than with your stock box.

Clean and store till next time you need to clean the one in the car.
