dont forget, that water+inside your motor = problems. if you go over a puddle in the rain, it will suck up the water. want pure CAI? get a shaker, its what i'll be doing

impossible... water is not like the magic bullet that shot JFK.. it might get some in there if you went into a really deep puddle but the water would be heavy enough to run back out the hole, let alone making the 90 degree turn uphill then another to get into the throttle body
:P

LOL @ Magic puddle theory.

You'd need to do a river crossing to suck enough water in to lock the motor up.

i've seen loads of engines stuff up due to water getting in from a low mounted CAI. Yeh, it may not happen for ages, but nothing there to say it wont happen. if you at WOT, go through a deep enough puddle at speed, there is the possibilty that you suck up water.
