Cold Air Intake or Short Ram

I have a '98 Max and am interested in replacing the air intake system. I was told that there are problems with cold air intake because of the chance of water getting into the filter when its placed in the wheel well. I was told that if water did get into the system the engine would be trashed. I also could get the short ram system but that will suck in the hotter air. I will be moving to colorado and will need as much oxygen into the engine as possible. Any thoughts?????????

I have a short ram air because I didn't want to drill a hole in my fender which is required for cold air. I don't think too many people have problems with water.

i have a short ram also and its fabulous. if you decide to go w/cold air, there is an adaptor that prevents water from sucking up into your engine. it wont be as good as it would be off, but arizona is a pretty hot place...so i suggest cold air. does it rain a lot in arizona? only time you'll get that problem is when its raining and there is flooding. to be on the safe side, get that adapter
