Man ..you could be right but that sounds crazy :) I've always been told not
to let water get into the intake filter because it will lock your engine.
Now your saying it will turn to steam? I guess all those ricers with the
cold air intakes going into thier fenderwells don't have to worry about
sucking water up then? Please explain!
