VQ NATION Cold Air Intake Hydro-Socks

*Comes with 2x hydro-socks. Filters NOT included

Protect your intake investment. Open-element cold air intakes flow great, but they're also exposed - and that exposure comes with real risk, not just extra cleaning.

Why you need one:

• Hydro-lock protection — Cold air intakes are often mounted low in the engine bay for cooler air, which also means they're closer to puddles, standing water, and heavy rain spray. Water ingested through an unprotected intake can hydro-lock your engine. Since liquid doesn't compress like air, even a small amount pulled into a cylinder can bend a rod or cause serious internal damage. A filter sock adds a water-resistant barrier that helps keep splashes and spray out.
• Prevents debris buildup — Without protection, dust, dirt, and road grime work their way into the filter media itself, clogging it faster than normal and forcing more frequent cleanings - or worse, restricting airflow and starving your engine of the intake volume you paid for.
• Waterproof & oil-resistant — shields your filter from splashes, rain, and engine bay moisture without trapping heat or restricting flow
• Universal fit — designed to stretch over most high-flow cone-style intake filters (check your filter's dimensions against the size chart before ordering)
• Lightweight & breathable mesh — won't hurt airflow or throttle response, it's just an extra layer of insurance
• Easy on, easy off — simple slip-on design, no tools or permanent modification needed. Literally takes 5 seconds to install.

Available in multiple sizes to match your intake and your build's look.

A hydro-locked engine is one of the most expensive repairs you can face from something as simple as driving through a deep puddle. For the price of a filter sock, it's cheap insurance for a part of your build you already spent real money on.
