Nothing bad. After I left the washing bay I opened the Hood and saw a lot of water in the cai box. I dried it up the best I could. The filter was a little damp so I took the long way home. No noticeable damage was done. Just don't want to do it again. The worst case was I was running on humid air. If I ever go back I would definitely put a towel under the filter before I pull in the car wash.

Ah that's good. I noticed some splashed water, but I go through a touchless wash once a week and the amount of splash isn't enough to cause problems.

I had the same problem with my AirAid...so what I did was drill a couple of holes in the bottom for the water to drain out...
