Cold Air Intakes are a popular mod with the Import
Tuner crowd (Honda/Mazda/Toyota/DSM/Nissan/etc.).
A common problem with CAI's is hydrolocking the motor
when lot's of water is unexpectedly ingested (like
driving in heavy rain and encountering a deep puddle).
Since water is basically incompressible, the motor
will get fragged if this happens.
Several ways to avoid this, a secondary air passage
mounted high that Tee's into the main tube is common.
YMMV
