I just bought the hydroshields, because a couple weeks ago, my injen intakes caused me to hydrolock my motor in about 5-6 inches of water that I had to go through to exit a parking lot at my job. Cost my insurance around $9,000 and me a $500 deductible, to replace the short block. I'd get them as a pre-caution if your sticking w/ injen, or just like was said above, modify something else. You never know when you'll be trapped and forced to go through a flood, or deep puddle. Air still goes through the shields pretty easily, but not water, so I doubt any power would be lost. Maybe less then 1 hp if that matters. Just got them in today.
