...Well if its a short arm type of an intake (HAI), i have one and i live in sunny and rainy FL. Ive driven through squalls of rain recently and everything is fine. Its almost impossble to get waiter into the intake if you have that setup. However, if you have a true CAI that dips down under the engine, or comes outta the wheel well, then you may have problems. There are water by-pass type things that are supposed to keep water outta that kinda setup...supposed to keep it out anyways...i would not risk my VQ on that by-pass however...

I got water in my intake, its bad. If it dips down low to the ground there is a good chance water will get in. So i highly reccomend the short ram.
