Don't even worry about it. I've hit severe flooding on the highway to
Houston with an IP Intake system and there's no worry about water
getting into the intake system (and I'm lowered as well). Unless you
get into some REALLY deep water, it's of no big concern at all.

Subject: DML: air cleaners for 3.9 V6
hello everyone.
Ive been using a Intense Performance intake for the past 6 months (stage
2)
and have been very satisfied with it, until the recent rains and floods.
Intake got wet on several occasions and its got me worried. should i hit
deep puddle too hard and have the belt fan throw tons of water at an
exposed
cotton filter, and have that water sucked into the engine (unlikely but
possible)...or should i end up going thru somplace REAL deep...just
wanna
stop thinking...right now...I know a lot of people use these cone
filters
and im curious if any of you have run into these problems with water?
anyway, im looking into a round air cleaner for my 99 3.9l V6 that is
CONFIMRED to fit. I know the 3.9's TB is pushed farther back into the
engine
compartment near the firewall so that doesnt leave much space for a
large
one, but it would give me more peace of mind and would sure as hell beat
putting the stock junk back on. just got a 14" air cleaner and it doesnt
fit. hopefully itll have a nozzle for the driver side valve breather
hose
thingy. if not can someone reccomend a valve breather filter to go with
it
if it doesnt have the hole for it.
mucho thanks
