Oh yeah!!! I completely submerged the filter!! Which is what you would have to do with the Injen, and that means 22", yep damn near 2 foot, of water!!

We all know, none of us would drive, on purpose, in our Camaros, through that kind of water. As to the what ifs, and you never knows, the same can be said for any CAI. You submerge the filter, then you run the risk, with anyone of them.

And I agree with SDCamaro10, why buy an intake just to have to modify it? I also agree AirRaid probably isn't going back to the drawing board again, lol. Gotta give them credit, at least they fixed the first non-issue!
Like I mentioned though, the other part of my desicion making was I wanted the piece of mind that I could quickly switch back to stock if needed and if I didn't and went for service that I wouldn't have to worry about a service tech "saying" that I had a problem caused by water, whether it was actually true or not.

As far as water getting in the Airaid, no worrys there because I used my power washer on the front of the car to test and make sure no water could get in.

The "mod" took all of 5 minutes and isn' necessary but if you can improve the results, isn't that what we are all after?
