[QUOTE="Dirty Dog, post: 451993, member: 24042"] Thank you. Water is always a concern regardless of the intake. On the other hand, water injection has long been a common practice in the boosted engine world. The box it sits in is more open than the factory box, but the air is primarily entering from the grill and top. These types of filters can be oiled, which can help prevent water entry. But unless you're essentially submerging the engine bay, I don't think problems are likely. I don't know about you, but one of the things I was taught to do in deep water is keep moving. That causes a bow wave to form, which in turn means the water level on the Jeep side is lower. If you routinely go through deep water, a snorkel is probably a good idea, with the caveat that anytime the snorkel is not absolutely necessary, it should be disconnected. Snorkels rob your engine of power. [/QUOTE]
