Not a clue, but the first gen ones had a lot of problems with tearing apart and getting caught in the TB. At least that's what I heard. . .

i didn't have one on my car and i never had a problem. There were many times when i was driving in downpours and alot of rain. Just don't drive through any rivers and you should be ok.
