I have a CAI and have never had a problem, you have to get in some deep slush for it to do any damage

do you like your motor the waty it is? if not hydro lock is agreat way to destroy it giving you an exellent excuse to swap it out with somthing else.

I'd use a short ram or stock intake IMO. it's not just the slush you need to worry about. I had a car in my shop last winter because a water main on his street broke due to the cold. BIG puddle, he sucked up water and there was one less B18 swaped civic out there.
