I am looking at a cold air intake and I want to know what would be the best for snow conditions in northern canada would be an open or closed?What is the best closed air intake?I am also going to go with the edge programmer for my 06 screw.

 

Would have to be some really deep snow to get into the intake I think open or closed would be fine. I just ordered the AF1 from Troyer, after experiencing some bad customer service with S&B (long story), but people here will probably say S&B is the best enclosed system. Just make sure they send you the right part.

 

I had no issues this winter with my open cai here in Maine.I'm not as far north as you but I'm still too far north.

 

we got 7 feet of snow this winter and it gets down to -45c with alot of blowing snow.Will the open air intake freeze from the blowing snow at -45c.I have 33" toyo mt and was pushing snow up to my front bumper and thought that I would freeze an open intake solid in these conditions.

 

Yikes, how far north are you, bud?

I thought it was a cold enough winter here in Toronto.

 

Nobody is going to have any problem with an open intake design like the Air Force One - that is what actually works the best & adds the most power, & is what many people go with.

In short, having an open intake does not pose any problems, no matter how cold it gets or how much snow you get.

The only time you would have a problem is if you actually get the vehicle under water and ingest water into the engine & hydrolock it - and that is not going to happen just because it's way below zero and there's a LOT of snow.

Additionally, it's up to you - but you can get far better results with our tuning over what the Edge device will give you, and our custom tuning is cheaper as well.

 

Except that when that 7 feet of snow all melts it's going to translate into a lot of water.
Summer's coming baby, even in Tuktoyuktak.

 

7 ft. of snow equals 7 *inches* of water when it's melted, and that is if it **instantly* melts, which it does not do, of course. It melts over *time*, even if it never gets back down to freezing temps, it takes at LEAST a few days, at best, to melt - so you don't end up with 4 ft of water, which is about what it would take to put water into the engine - well, assuming some idiot doesn't try to turn their truck into a boat and drive at high speed thru say, 3-4 ft of water.

In short, it's a non-issue in anything other than an apocalyptic scenario, so the original poster does not need to worry about this.

 

Thanks for the replies.When I am ready for a programmer and intake I will be giving you a call.I have done alot of reading and it seems that your product is top notch and is setup great.Thanks again.

 

Pretty sure I was being facetious in my former post.
