Default tornado in illinois

i was driving back and there was a quick tornado that past my city, and it was raining CRAZY, i i couldnt see too well and i went over a huge puddle and when i popped my hood open when i got home, the filter was SOAKED and i have a short ram intake ... does that mean i must of sucked up some water ? if so what should i do ?

it doesnt guarantee that you sucked up water.

for sure change that filter or dry it out before you drive again!

unless its buckets and buckets of water that your motor sucks in, your fine. your motor can handle a little moisture... after all, i breathes fire

in reality having the air blow thru a saturated filter is like having 100% humidity. its really only bad if you get like water poured into ur engine. and it sounds like you didtn drive it very far with the wet filter anyway

It's been raining here since Saturday, which is a lot for here. But, then again, not even you can compare to the Amazon when it comes to rain. It's all about perspective.
