Theres a few different kind of CAIs out there. I looked at all the pictures in the parts catalog and they're all curved differently. Do they all pick up air from under the car? Is there one thats less likely to hydro lock?

All intake have a chance at hydrolocking, even with the stock airbox. But, if you are plan on getting an aftermarket intake, go with a short ram if your afraid of hydrolocking, the risk % is less compare to a cold air. Incase if you ask which short ram is better, AEM or Injen, search for BBmod.

just get a short ram intake. it's easier to install and the gains between the sri and the cai are similar. plus, the filter looks badazz in the engine bay rather than hidden in the wheel well...

The likelihood of hydrolocking with the stock airbox is impossibly small unless you drive the car into a swimming pool.

Given the fact that the design of the OEM airbox makes hydrolocking quite difficult, and that I was making a statement rather than posing a question, what the fvck are you talking about? What exactly should I have searched for?
Are you claiming you hydrolocked your car with the stock airbox? The only person I know who did this was driving in severe flood conditions -- as in the water was up to the hood!
The chance of being caught in a flood of a magnitude capable of hydrolocking the car with the OEM airbox is incredibly small. However, the chance of being caught in weather conditions that could potentially hydrolock a car with a CAI is quite a bit greater.
Are you claiming this is not true? What is your point?

First part was directed to you. Second part of his post was directed to the OP.

^^^ Whoops -- sorry, Sancho -- I'm needlessly cranky (and easily confused) at this hour, I guess :p:

Well first of all I didn't ask anyone to tell me "CAI vs SRI". I asked if all the CAIs made for the Celica pick up air from the same area, because when I researched the intakes I saw pictures and they all looked like they curved differently. Then I asked if there is a CAI which has a lower percentages vs all CAI to have hydro lock. I didn't even mention anything about SRI.

They all draw in air from the fender well, close to the ground. There is no evidence that one is more or less of a hydrolock risk.
