Have had the CAI on for over a year now, and have had no hydrolock issues at all. And I swear one puddle I had to drive through was about as deep as Lake Ontario.
At least on my '05, there is a nice plastic shield under the car (which is a bit of a pain to deal with installing the CAI, or even my clear corners. So unless you submerge the car, water won't get up in there. I did notice on the other half's '02, it doesn't have the shield.
edit:
MM CAI for sale over on FF.. $125+shipping.. 6 months old. Even if you have to get the stuff to clean the filter (K&N), you're still making out like a bandit. No color listed for it.
