Reassurance? Just close your eyes and pull the trigger!
Slap a K&N sock over it if your really worried. Check out STS turbos or any rear mount. thats alot of money riding out there open to the elements and I havn't heard of failures due to the elements.

I thought about the same thing when I did my cam, headers, etc........ I do drive through some puddles here and there so I felt it to be a lot safer to do the standard 4" intake. The minor loss over the fenderwell intake I make up in peace of mind knowing that I can drive through water if I had to.
Just my 2 cents

No problems here so far with it.. And here in OK when it rains it pours..
Wow people still take there cars to those places?????????????
I havent had any trouble with this system.
I'm in pa to bud, and I felt the same way with mine. At first it kept acting up but a quick spray of cleaner on the maf always cleared it right up. And now I haven't had any issues in a few months!
i had the same thoughts. but ii drove through some nasty weather and it was pouring and it was just fine?
I know I know i dont choose to use the car washes either but thats what happens when you in a wheelchair its kinda hard to wash your car! Yea Bubba i still use them i cant help it, i already have the ieatsrt8 and want as many hps as possible but just a little weary.
Yea im the guy that was at NATS. in the wheelchair.
It poored like a mofo one day on my way home from work and I started to not down shift when i put my foot down. Took it easy all the way home. Later on I opened the whole thing up and I had pulled water all the way to the throttle body. Sprayed some maf cleaner and dried out the intake changed back to a aem dryflow with a k&n water sock or whatever its called havent had problems with that one. I guess the cotton ones just plain old eat ass.
Depends which filter you use. once you have the filter part number you can look up the correct sock on K&N's site.
To tell you the truth i have been through multiple car washes since having it installed and no problems yet, even with the under spray. Now keep in mind i drive over the underspray very fast till the filter is cleared then i slow down and then when you stop i turn the truck off and let her sit until i need to start it up again. I was worried too in the beginning too but just like others say dont go through or near standing water!
I would look up the sock part number but i dont know what the part number for the filter is. Does anyone with this setup know what the part number of the filter that PCM uses is?
