Default CAI extension

I had an Ebay SRI on my 98 accord and my friend gave me his old 92 Celica intake.I bought an Injen coupler and made my own CAI. I didn't think it would make much of a difference but it really made it sound better and i could feel a little bit of a performance gain it only cost me 8 bucks for the coupler.

Sweet man, now you just need to replace that coupler with a bypass valve *L* Seriously get one... I learned that the hard way, looks good though

What does it take to ruin your engine? just rain? or going through big puddles and stuff?

You've actually got to suck water into the pistons through the intake, it actually requires a fair amount of water, like some SERIOUS downpours (hurricane like) or partial submersion... It takes more than you'd think (I put mine through the tests *L*) but it's that one time when you don't see it coming and it only takes a second to trash a few thousand dollar motor vs. a $50.00 or so part...
