CAI in the winter time?

From what I have heard, there are occasional instances where an engine will suck up a significant amount of water and seize, thus ruining the engine, but this happens few and far between. Almost everyone says that you are fine to run a cai in the winter. But, it also depends on where you live. Now, depending on what planet you are on...

This is my first time to actually buy something for my car, because I only had it for couple of months. It is going to be winter soon, and I am going to buy a CAI for my 6.

I am just wondering if it is a good idea to be one.
I thought about it a lot and this question keeps popin in mind,
Will it ruin my filter and my performance?

If you live somewhere with a lot of standing water you might want to forego the CAI. Its generally pretty safe, though I do personally know someone that hydrolocked a SAAB motor, so it does happen

Whatever you do, don't do the coolant bypass mod. That WILL suck in the winter.

EDIT: You should add, "or die" to your sig. Don't be stupid out there man, I need another mx6 and the fewer that are crushed up the better
