i know it doesnt restrict airflow. my personal opinios is that as long as i dont submerge my filter in a big puddle, then i should be fine if i chose to buy it. second thing i wanted to add is that I have and Injen CAI, so would i be able to put an AEM bypass valve? also which model would i have to get? or are they all the same? are all the bypass valved a universal fit? someone please point me in the right direction.
lots and lots of fail

They say that it offeres water repellancy and then at the the end of the sentence, in parenthesis they write that it is not water repellent.
"are factory treated using an embedded hydrophobic process, which offers consistent airflow, water repellency and maintains horsepower gains. (Please note that this item is water repellent, not water proof) "

as others have said already, it looks like this will repel a certain amount of water - maybe even quite a bit of it. but submerge the intake and it'll probably lose effectiveness. seems interesting.

It may repel water in your submerged in a glass testing... but wtf does it matter if your car is parked somewhere and mysteriously a puddle big enough to cover your filter appears out of no where...
... yeah luckily with the condom on your filter won't get wet (only a few drops wet) but the damn condom doesnt come with a reserve oxygen tank that automatically engages when the condom gets submerged. Soon as that engine turns on and that manifold starts to suck.... that water is coming through in more than just a few drops.

I was looking at that condom for some time, one of my friends had it and another had the AEM bypass. I got the bypass instead cause of the fact that once it starts sucking, its pretty much a givin to get water into the tube (weither it be SRI or CAI) Drivin through some madd deep puddles with the bypass and havent had a problem.
