Default How much air does an AEM c/a/i (intake) / K&N filter suck in?

Does anyone know? If it matters preferbly a B18C1 motor. The higher the RPM's the more air is sucked in right?

I have a hole in my splash guard and have placed a curved piece of metal around the backside of the filter/in front of the hole on the splash guard. I am just trying to get an idea if any (& how much) water is being sucked in when it rains. I think the shield does a good job, but still would like to know how much air is sucked in through a c/a/i filter

It will suck in 1.8 liters of air every two revolutions. That's 720 liters/min at idle. If the filter is wet, you'll only get a few droplets of water in the air stream (and somewhat higher humidity).

If the filter is submerged, then you're SOL.

you should just install aem's bypass valve then you don't have to worry about hydrolocking your motor.

you cant measure air volume with a liquid measurement.

but there is no need to worry unless youre driving through 1 foot+ puddles

plus thats still not right since the air is only needed at TDC for the combustion
