And does anyone know why the search function seems to be broken?

Probably none at all. They will sit nicely on top of the new washer bottle.

I don't think you can see it at all through the bumber, especially with fog lights.

And, see, this makes me curious if Injen mentions anything about, "Hey, watch out with this thing...splatter some water on it and goodbye engine!" I mean, surely they don't sell something that has the chance to get an engine ruined in normal rain-driving circumstances. Seems like someone would get their ass sued off !

yeah, i know what your saying. but, funny thing is that the 02-04 CAI from Injen is CARB Approved. so why would Cali approve such a thing if there's a high risk of hydrolocking the cars?

Isn't CARB just for emissions? What does California care if your engine gets hydrolocked

As to Chuck's question about lawsuits, I'm sure the warranty says "Use at your own risk: somewhere in there.

i guess they don't really care if you hydrolock your car. since, you can't drive it, they can't write you a ticket.
