Very true, my K&N's on the bike are right out in the open:



No problems driving through rain. If they are absolutely soaked (say parked overnight) however it's a different story. It bogged bad but even then I don't think it ever did any pernament harm and it never took long to dry out. I was always able to move.

I don't know if it is the same with a fuel injected car as I had carbs on the bike?

High output turbo cars are using water injecting intakes these days to avoid deto anyway?

If it matters I'm happy with my K&N panel and SVT snorkel on the Focus. Nobody in 6 years has come up with any intake of any type that is a dramatic improvement over anything else. You never find anything that gives you an instant 10% improvement or anything.
