I just ordered a Mazdaspeed Intake and I'm trying to find out if I am still able to go into the Laserwash Automatic Car Wash or anything that has undercarriage sprayers or anything like that. If someone could tip me off I would really appreciate it as searching did not yield any answers.

Doesn't the MS CAI sit inside of the AC air dam? In which case underbody spray wouldn't really be a factor.

Ask Mazda. Shouldn't be a problem tho, I assume Mazda would have looked in to that.

Should not be a problem. My new custom CAI is setup like the mazdaspeed intake and I have never had any problems......even while driving in heavy rain. Just stay away from deep puddles (1+ feet deep) and you'll be fine.

So spraying a hose or power washer into the area where it sits won't affect it either?

I have the aem intake (same as the ms) and I did this a couple days ago it was perfectly fine. I have also been in a really heavy storm or two (heavy for my area at least) and it was fine.

With a rotory engine flooding due to water is not as much of an issue as it is with piston engines. Doesn't mean it can't happen, just that it's not very likely to. I've had my AEM CAI for some time now and never had any issues.

^ True but, engine flooding due to gasoline is another problem.

Update: Gone through 3 car washes since the install with no adverse behavior.
