I had an intake just like brandon, with the filter down in the wheel well. One day driving home there was a huge rain storm and all of a sudden in front of me the road had about 6 inches of water, I couldnt stop in time and rolled right in it. Car died, trying cranking it over and it wouldnt run. So I sat there waiting for AAA. Got the car home, emptied probably a gallon of water from the IC piping and core.

Car started right up once everything was dry, I had a GM maft in blow through also.

Hope it didnt hydrolock, doesnt sound like it did, as it would have died right away.
