Said he knew two guys who'd destroyed their engines by sucking water through a CAI in the past year. I didn't ask, but there's no where around here that gets 22" of water ever. Maybe half that on the worst day. I guess I'm still not convinced you'd have to completely submerge the filter to blow the engine.
I live just down the 91 from you in Riverside, there was some really bad flooding in my area during the last storm, IMHO if you have the hydroshield there should be no problem. I had to drive through some pretty wicked puddles to make it home and had no real problems, definitely recommend the shield though.
