short rams dont really have a problem with engine lockout

Naa, shouldn't be a problem. I too live in a snow covered city and use an SRI. Lets think worst case here. You hit a big snow drift and the snow sprays up under your hood all over your intake. First, since it's frozen water it will have to make it through the filter, which would be pretty hard, then it will have to melt and make it all the way into the engines cylinders in a relatively large quantity... Very unlikely.

not to mention that a intake has to be completely immersed in water to suck up water. air is less dense and if you take a intake and stick it in water it will still suck air, until it is completely under....

you will be fine with your short ram intake. from what i have heard the filter almost has to be submerged in water to suck up enough to hydrolock.

i live in michigan and it snows almost every day. im still running my aem cai. i should change and buy some 25.00 sri but been to lazy.

does anyone know if it is harmfull to run cai in winter because of the extremely cold air?? some days it is like 5 degrees here and i thought i seen a post on this but couldnt find it;)

Colder the better :) To bad the downside is the condition of the roads :(

The setup on all the SRI's I've seen have the filter right in the exact same spot as the stock air box. I can't foresee any way of snow making it THAT far inside the engine if the hood is closed.
