+1, would take a lot of water going into the filter. I've seen Tim wash his car and his intake filters hot wet, hasn't caused him any problems.

Just fab up a little rain guard to keep water from going right into the filter and you'll be fine.
My intake puts the filter kinda "out there" and it would throw a "too lean" trouble code if I drove in heavy rain for extended periods where the filter started to get really wet. IDK if that had anything to do with the actual combustion process, or if it was fooling the MAF
Anyway, I fabricated a rainguard when I went to the new bumper which is even MORE open than the old one, and I haven't had the SES light come on ONCE since the rainguard, even in monsoonal conditions.

I would really like to see before and after dyno numbers to see how much it really did. Are you thinking of running a straight aluminum pipe to the throttle body? Or are you thinking of adapting it to the z-tube? Isn't there waterproof filter wraps to help prevent hydro lock? Along with the bypass valve and you can be confident no water will get in.

Well I am not to sure about the water. But If my car is ever submerged that deep I think I might have a Problems. I don't see a Real Big Problem With Design Stillen has the same design for the G37
If you car is a submarine Maybe you should get 1 of these
I am just messing around with you guys. But really I think the AEM or the Filter Wrap would be just fine for those Worried peeps

I like the idea... the only concerns I'd have are; blocking radiator and using a relatively small filter.
Water isnt going to be an issue (especially in So Cal) - except when you wash it... even in rainy areas, I doubt much water will enter (considering the shape and direction of the vanes/bars on the grille).
