you have to go pretty damn deep before it submerges the filter.

you dont have to worry about water getting into your motor when u drive throught puddles, if you want the insurance, take the lower pipe off and attach the filter to the midpipe

I was told when I had my integra CAI which was probably closer to the ground than yours...that I would have to be in about a foot and a half plus of water and revving out your engine for it to be a problem...I mean I dont think you will ever have a problem...YOU CAN by an air bypass valve that is about 60 bucks I would say...you make a cut in your piping and then add this so the it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to get water in your engine.
