I can't think of anyone having a problem with water getting into the engine with any aftermarket intake on here.

I wouldn't worry too much about agua in the engine unless you're flying through puddles (gotta keep the rocker panels clean).

Not unless you drive through puddles up to your fog lights. Here's something I posted in a different thread: Quote: BTW, you all may be interested in knowing I just completed a 2000+ mile roadtrip w/ the kit that involved some very heavy rain in TX and NM. I didn't feel any water on the cone when I checked (even though the heat may have evaporated it before I pulled over). Just FYI for those in the rainier climes. 125.2 FWHP - 126.5 FWTQ SVT exhaust (#4 of 9) - B&M FPR - Custom CAI - bnoon optimized TB #1 & 2 (beat that!!)
