Wet weather drivers.... Short Ram or Cool air intakes?
 

Greetings. I am from the west coast where rain is just something that is expected. I am on orders from Ft. Carson to move to Ft. Lewis, WA next year. I am trying to decided on a short ram or cool air intake for the MS3. For those of you that are over in OR and WA now... what do you suggest?

For that climate, SRI all the way.

SRI regardless of environment, read around the site there's a few threads discussing it

Appreciate the insight. I have read around a bunch and it seemed like there was more people with SRI. But I still thought I would check.

what the fuck is a cai?

Ohhhh boy, isn't there a thread for noobs on abbreviations?

lol tokay isnt a noob

I just realized I spelled intake incorrectly. And it looks like CorkSport SRI will be the winner. Now if I could just find someone to help me install and set the sensors....

Yeah I didn't look at who it was, woooo. Sorry tokay

trust me.. its easy. easier than a CAI.

Check Nator CO and I'm sure someone local will help you out. Shouldn't take long at all, even for me it was easiest install by far. Cs Sri is awesome and I love mine

Yeah, I may be meting with deni and sassyspeed3 in a couple weeks. Everyone seems pretty helpful. I am sure it is easy, but I could probably find a couple ways to make my car blow up during the install lol.

Fixed.

Back off @Tokay444;, he's my bitch.

Fuck this thread.

umm...do i know you?

No... But from watching you while you sleep and sneaking into your house to go through your personal belongings/collecting your underwear, I feel confident enough to say that I know you. :yumyum:



































































:neener:

The SRI is about as easy an install as they come.

If you buy the combo with TIP, It's a little more difficult.

Matt

you could have easily played that off as sarcasm :firedevil:

You would have to be in some pretty deep water to run into issues with hydrolock should you choose the CAI. The engine would have to suck the water vertically through the intake's piping, through the turbo, and then through the intercooler all before it gets into the combustion chamber.

Yeah, and?
How long do you think it takes for that to happen?

Just a few quick moments of stupidity. :biglaugh:

In those conditions you should not be driving, or choose an alternate route.

It takes even LESS time, in more reasonable conditions to short out a maf sensor.

MAFs are pretty cheap, especially compared to a new engine.

I shorted out the MAF, but that's as far as the water got and the first time in three years of running a CAI.

Price out a maf at Mazda.
I'd rather run an Sri. Drive in any condition, and keep the $400 in my pocket.

Street unit has them for $200.

That's a whole new intake.

Lol, like I said earlier different route or stay home.

Lol.
"Sorry boss. I can't come to work today. Cai."

Good point

i went with a sure aeros with semi water repellent element shield :01:

Good choice, I've heard it flows better than other SRI's. After seeing the install how to I want one, the hot wife that is.

I just did mine today in the barracks parking lot, 30 minutes...I have a cobb sri but its pretty much like legos. I'm pretty new to the mazda community, sassy and deni are subject matter experts but if you need a hand you could hit me up too

Disiindahead you mean?

Gen2 is MUCH easier to install a CAI than a Gen1, we don't have that panel that pretty much requires removing the front bumper like the Gen1 did...

What's a cai?

hahaha yeah, well you know a bunch more than me! So does deni and disi
