water in engine?
I have a cold air intake on a 96 honda civic EX and went through some heavy water and the car started running real shitty but it ran better after the rain cleared of the road but the oil had white spots in it and the car still runs but not as good i think there is water in my engine any suggestions would be appreciated

if water got sucked up, and it is alright now, then i think you would be alright. Consider yourself lucky. Did you go through a deep puddle?

Doesnt work unless the filter is completely submerged.

Yes and no (I saw a demonstration video where it wasn't completely submerged and the bypass opened - though it was very close), but you have to admit that - no matter what - having one is better than not having one at all.
You should have the fenderwell liner installed, if for no other reason than to keep all the road debris from hitting your filter. If you want to get cold air into that area, baffling/piping works wonders.
