The placement of the CAI is not condusive to everyday hydrolocking. That is, unless you drive through 2 foot puddles. The CAI installs in a void area in front of the left front wheel well. It is very much closed off from direct contact water. Only a deep puddle that youhave to drive more than 2 feet through would cause hydro-lock. A pothole full of water is not going to flood out your engine. I have a short ram and routinely get it soaking wet at the car wash when I wash the engine compartment. The car starts up fine. If you ever get hydro-lock, get your car out of the deep water, wait about 5 mins and crank it over. It might not start right up, but it will start and run fine after a min or two. If this still concerns you then create a new thread with a poll of people with CAI that have actually experienced hydro-lock.
