Hey guys,
I was wanting to install a CAI on my 2007 spyder gs. I was wondering is there one (OEM) that i can put in that wont trip thr engine light and because i live in florida i am kind of worried about water locking the engine during our summer storms. The rains down here are exetremely heavy at times.

stangcobra · July 17th, 2011, 08:54 AM

Use the search

229boss · July 17th, 2011, 09:22 AM

i just got my dc sports cai installed yesterday and omg it sounds fierce when i even put my foot down on the gas

4GALTOONA · July 17th, 2011, 01:11 PM

Get the injen sri. It sounds beastly ( much better than the fujita cai). Plus no water will get near a sri unless your driving in lakes. If you want a cai though you could always get a hydro shield which will help.

snakeeyes · July 18th, 2011, 11:59 AM

you guys are funny. a hydroshield will restrict airflow.same thing as having a dirty airfilter lol

FeaRlezZ · July 18th, 2011, 12:07 PM

the location of it really isnt that bad at all

dsm2mivec · July 18th, 2011, 12:58 PM

Fujita is the shit I have no problem with it an it sound way sexy

FeaRlezZ · July 18th, 2011, 01:59 PM

ok y does the injen cai have a connector to the resonator, but the injen sri does not ?? wouldnt it somewhat restrict airflow and reduce sound ?

you sir are correct !bad design from injen.i think the latter ones dont have that.

FeaRlezZ · July 18th, 2011, 02:20 PM

^ nope thats how they make them. . only the sri does not have resonator connector.

dewaynek · July 18th, 2011, 04:23 PM

thanks guys was looking into the injen sri, would feel more comfortable with it. The rains down here tend to turn our roads into lakes at times..

rdelaney89 · July 18th, 2011, 05:01 PM

use search...DC sports one is legit and its $100 cheaper than the injen cai. You would have to submerge your front end to hydrolock

joeyb · July 18th, 2011, 05:02 PM

the K&N SRI Typhoon is not a bad choice, imo. comes w/ a heat shield that should block water also

FeaRlezZ · July 18th, 2011, 09:45 PM

ya i have both an injen sri and injen cai i may sell both or atleast the cai and get another cai fujita probably, but u dc guyz got me thinkn, . . . . how many people go through the amount of intakes that i do holy shit.

FeaRlezZ · July 18th, 2011, 09:56 PM

dam u dc cai bastards got me going for that now. . im hearing really good reviews and for $142 shipped dam . .

babysealboots · July 18th, 2011, 11:58 PM

PICS OR GTFO

ha just kidding

i was gonna go with the injen. but i didnt even know the dc sports was an option. just need a little sumthin sumthin. will the dc sports give me a little bit of a meaner tone even on a stock engine? will probably be my first engine mod.

off topic: today a cop revved his engine at a stop light before a merge, gunned it, and cut in front of me. wtf... guess cops gotta have fun too

EDIT: Fuck california. Sent them an e-mail about the C.A.R.B. status of part CAI4006. (gs cai) Gonna have to wait to see what happens.

babysealboots · July 19th, 2011, 07:32 PM

"DC Sports info@dcsports.com to me

Andrew,

At this time all our intake are pending CARB approval. They should be legal
in California in a few months I will keep you posted.

Thank You"

Speedy reply i must say, but short. I'll probably just go with it anyways. And stay sticker free until it gets approved. I e-mailed about CAI4006.

AlbinoRhino · July 19th, 2011, 08:23 PM

just thought id let u guys know i called to see how long it would take for a DC sports cai to ship from ultrarev.com because im going on vacation soon, and they said they are out of stock and they dont know when they will have these again.

FeaRlezZ · July 19th, 2011, 09:45 PM

^ my dc cai just shipped yesterday . . got tracking # and evrything. mayb i got last 1 lol

AlbinoRhino · July 19th, 2011, 10:14 PM

3CL1PS3 · July 20th, 2011, 03:01 PM

i live in florida and have the injen cold air intake without a shield. been on for almost 3 years now and never had a problem with water...too many people are scared about this.

it astonishes me the concern over this. its as if people need to watch someone else drive thier car through some very deep puddles so they can see there is no issue. if your bumpers not under water, and if it is, u dont need to be driving there anyway, you wont have problem

Reireii · September 14th, 2011, 08:43 PM

um question... how many horses do you get from dc sports cai vs the fujita cai? -curious-

FeaRlezZ · September 14th, 2011, 08:44 PM

^ no difference

Not true I was driving through a parking lot and got water in my engine

That is the result

FeaRlezZ · September 14th, 2011, 10:06 PM

^ that is a scary sight. hydroshield for the win

. . there has been speculation that the shield restricts airflow to a point ( not at all a noticable difference ) mayb a dyno would show something but idk

dsm2mivec · September 14th, 2011, 10:15 PM

Yea I almost got her put back together

"if your bumpers not under water, and if it is, u dont need to be driving there anyway, you wont have problem"

let me help you out here. I made no mention of a parking lot being a factor. My issue isnt where your car is located, my issue is weather your bumper is under water. If theres a lake in the middle of a parking lot, u dont need to be driving there.

3CL1PS3 · September 15th, 2011, 11:35 PM

i have an injen cai with no heat shield, i live in florida where it rains all the damn time, and i even cut out the center of my fog light covers and put black mesh there for more air to the filter and i have had NO PROBLEMS for almost three years now. stop worrying

i hope you have changed the air filter at least 3 times during those 3 years.

FeaRlezZ · September 16th, 2011, 09:06 AM

anyone ever try an insys-usa cai before ??

MACH1219 · September 16th, 2011, 09:31 AM

for what its worth, my foglight is removed and it rains hard where i live too. splashes wont hurt anything, its got to be completely submerged
