I've heard the subject of hydrolock with a cai come up here before but never read any actual experiences.

I didn't like the condition of the by-pass fitting on the used TRD I got, so I just swapped-in a plain coupler. Works great, no problems, and you can adjust the fit a little more by cutting the coupler to the length you want.

I haven't compared it to any others, but I'm really pleased with the performance of my TRD CAI (using a weapon R dry filter)
I can tell you that I am running 2-3 degrees above ambient, vs. 20-30 degrees above ambient with the stock airbox.

Does anyone from a colder climate have any thoughts about the CAI in cold weather? How cold is "too cold" for the engine to run efficiently?
