Even when it's pissing down and I go for a drive I always check the filter and it doesn't get wet, it's well out the way. I just like how it simplies the whole setup. Many people run pod filters right up the front of their cars where it would get quite wet with little problem, you can always get a sock to cover it if that's your concern.

I really dont think water is an issue either way unless it was drowned in it.
Hey Spence - I replied to your email. When I took my car out the other day, it was raining, and I was using the air filter with a plastic guard in the rear wheel well. When I took down that plumbing to install the plumbing to put the filter in the engine compartment, a good bit of water poured out.
