So is the water nothing to worry about since it is under the hood? How would water get in it?

actually it is possible for water to get into the combustion chamber even if the filter isn't submerged. however, if the velocity stack gets soaked enough, the suction of the intake could pull water through the filter's "pores" and get some water in there. won't be enough to hydrolock the motor, but enough to prevent spark.

i use a homemade intake system....i use a comptech air filter (www.comptechusa.com) with the top of my airbox removed, and it serves its intended purpose without the worry of water-loc or sucking shit into my motor
