Hello all,
I have a 1996 GT-S Convertible. I am looking at getting a cold air air induction system (with a K&N filter) on E-Bay. I am wondering - has anyone added CAI to their 2.2 and if so, what kind of return did you get? The web says is will add 10-18 HP... |

Think of it this way. If you suck through a straw that's placed on top of a sponge soaked with water, would you be able to drink all of the water? No, due to air pockets in the sponge (filter) that releases pressure. If the straw was fully submerged in a cup of water then yes it will take all the water, due to direct contact causing the pressure to build and cause suction. So if the filter is fully submerged it increases big chances of hydrolock, hence avoiding "big puddles" that will eat 1/3 to 1/2 of your car from the tires up.
