And no issues. So unless you are driving through 2 foot pools of water i really think hydro lock is of no concern
I was forced to drive through about 8 inches with a **** load of oncoming traffic in the rear and no place to u-turn....intake sucked it right up even when driving slow, car started jerking, died, and now engine is done PS water height looked just like that pic of the 40th z above. So be warned, all I'm saying. Just found out Injen sales some sock looking thing that goes over the filter which may help, but that's all I've found.....probably should go Stillen since it sits higher, or short ram air like Top Secret.
