Intake question

Ok, I was just driving home tonight from work and as you know its pretty rainy outside. As I was driving, I noticed my car didn't pick up as it does normally and was kinda wondering. I may be just out of it due to work, but I was wondering for such a rainy occasion if water or the rain would affect my air intake, its not a cold air intake but a short ram one. So if anyone's got any answers or same wonderment, then post it up caused it would be appreciated. Thanks. Also, I would like to know for the cold air intake since I plan on getting one in the future. Just to note, I drive my car all around season, so is it a good idea to have one or not.

well methinks rain or water wouldn't affect it..unless you got water inside which is pretty much impossible for a short ram since we're not driving in the ocean or something..eheheh

If anything, your observation was caused by the warmer air temperature now outside

and yes driving an auto Civic is a cause for being slow too Why can't all Civics be equipped with B16's

Humidity has an effect on preformance. That's probably what you were experiencing. The ideal climate is cool and dry.
