I just went thru two days of 2 inches of rain a day - I wonder if the scoop sends water up and soaks the filter? Does the filter catch he water if it does?

There is no additional risk of water ingestion with the scoop. In order for water to get to the air box it would have to enter the scoop, negotiate a 45 degree corner, make a 90 degree turn upward, and then climb about 12 inches vertically. While the scoop does direct additional cool dense air flow into the intake it does not create a vacuum capable of doing all that. Water vapor condenses against the back wall of the scoop and is drained through weep holes in the bottom rear corners. The only way I can see forcing enough water into the intake to hydro lock it would be for you to hit standing water at least as deep as the fog lights and with a bit of speed. And if you do that you are going to have plenty of other problems too.

You can see one of the weep holes in the bottom rear corner. There is another just across from it but it is concealed by the near side wall in that photo.
