I had a cai on my last mazda mx6 and it stuck out a little bit under the car. So I was gettin really good cold airflow if you ask me. I drove it in a storm once and hit a puddle...There was no more driving for me that night. I took the cai off and looked to see how much water might have gone up it, and it was barley damp in some places. thankfuly my motor survived and we were able to pump the little bit of water out. But I've learned my lesson about low filters and I would advise you, by my own experience, not to do it unless you plan on not driving in the rain.
