With the filter in the bumper, you will get it wet when it rains, just remember that in order to hydro-lock a motor, it has to be submerged, or take a gulp of water all the way past the throttle body.

Better safe than sorry, buy a AEM bypass valve while your at it. Its only about $40 so it's cheap insurance.

get any CAI along with AEM bypass valve... don't have to spend $160-180 on an AEM intake... just my opinion...
