I've got an airaid intake tube (it was $20 i got it from a friend - i know
the k&n is better, stop it.) and have never had a problem with getting water
sucked into the motor that I'm aware of. Believe me Chicago is no stranger
to flooding either, keep the bumper out of the deep water and you should be
just fine! I used to worry about that when I first got the intake tube, but
not anymore... However, I'm planning on doing either a cowl hood (with
airbox) or a shaker hood, so I'd have to worry more about the rain than deep
water.
