What about the winter ? The winters are chilly and snowy where I live. Is it going to fuck up all my modifications ?

If I knew what modifications you meant, I could answer the question.

I don't think those mods would be affected by cold weather. We have a lot of Canadians on here who can say better than me though!

the only weather element that could be a problem is heavy rain and standing water as that there is a chance that the CAI might suck up water into the engine and cause the engine to hydro lock.

it also depends on the intake you get. garm has an AFE intake which is made differently. not a TRUE CAI (cold air intake) but it has the filter much higher in the engine bay. this is actually the one that I ordered earlier today.

all that being said, I only know one guy that ever hydralocked his motor and he was being a dumbass. he kind of deserved it for what he was doing. it was in a jeep and he was really yahooing it through a puddle without a snorkel.

you would probably be fine unless you were running through standing water that was substantially high.

not really completely fucked but deep enough water as to cause it to splash up behind the head light could cause a really bad problem. typically if you just avoid deep water you shouldn't have any problems with it, just don't try and cross rivers or ponds.
