You figure if an intake can still suck in air, it can still breathe water.
Yeah you are right about that it only repels a little bit of water but wouldnt work in deep puddles. its a good idea because the filter wont get wet while driving in the rain or when washing your car but not competely safe.
Get an AEM bypass valve, its a good investment for like 45 buck.

cut a little hole halfway up the straw
suck on it, you get air
submerge the other end back in your drink
suck on it.
if you dont suck on it really hard, you will just get air.
When water reached the bypass, the air just continues to flow in through the bypass filter and the water (or beer) stays below.
If you suck really hard enough (reving really high), you might get some water through... but then again theres no reason to be reving high if you are driving in rain and puddles.
maybe I'm the bored one that just thought of that little experiment. lol
