Default Cold air intake=future problems?

I installed an AEM CAI and ive been told that with out headers and/or an exhaust system that it's going to create future problems with the engine. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

my last civic was lowered 2.5 inches and i had a ebay cold air intake. the intake was only a few inches off the ground. needless to say i hydrolocked the motor. regardless of your height you should get the AEM with the bypass. otherwise get the notion through your head that if its raining bad, you might as well stop to be safe.
