OEMs have to worry about those who would rather not hear all the awesome turbo noises. My sister asked if my car was broken when she heard the stock bypass valve for the first time. To some people it is just noise, wierd as that might seem to us performance junkies. Becuase of this we have an extremely quiet/restrictive airbox. Small openings like that is how rally cars have thier horsepower limited.(notcool) If it came standard with the MS intake I would not have been thrilled. I hated it when my filter on my old car's cai got wet, then the maf would get a little water it and the car would barely run or move till it was dry.
I was not reffering to hydro lock in my post.
The track thats by my house might be sold for a parking garage to a Casino thats next door, so I don't know when I will be able to run my car again. I need to find another track somewhere around my area...

No, not worried... Initially I was with all the talks on the forum...but after living with it day to day for a while now...I can't see myself hydrolocking...as an added precaution, I also have a hydro-shield installed.
In due time, I might swap the MS CAI for a Cobb, CP-E, some type of SRI if there is really no difference in power and heat...
With my MS CAI, if I sit for too long, my intake temps shoot up over 100 to 120ish...
Some of these posts have been very informative about these intakes and I guess I will chime in as well.
I have the MSCAI and I like it. I have never tried any of the others for this car and when I bought my car, I had it put on before I even drove it. So I don't really have a power comparison but either way, it's pretty damn fast and I love this car.
I chose the MSCAI because I don't want to be throwing a wrench at my car when I have to take it to the dealer. Let's say my car just breaks down somewhere and has to be towed to the shop. Am I going to be taking stuff apart on a highway or something? Not. It's a simple rationale, I have it put on and don't have to worry about it again.
As for hyrdo lock, here in Tampa it's an issue. I have seen several cars sitting in huge pools of water that have been choked out. It rains hard and fast here so the puddles get insane. That said, I will just have to be extra careful but oh well, them the breaks and I am glad it's on there.

With the MS CAI you don't have to worry about warrenty stuff but the possiblity of hydro lock is more likely than with a SRI. But the good thing about a SRI is that it's pretty easy to install / uninstall and easier to maintain.
