Few questions

-Do you have all you undercar panels installed on the car ?

-Are the fake vent removed or still in the bumper. although the fake vents will allow a direct air flow to air filters also they will do the same with rain as well .

If all you undercar panels and the fake vents are on the car and still getting water in the system then you must not be paying attention to how deep the water you are driving in.

Note the filter location/height in the pic I'm posting, the don't sit low enough to cause what you are experiencing, Unless you driving the car in some real extreme weather.

Hope this help

Sam
