I can't imagine what would happen if I got caught in a big rain storm and hitting puddles. I have a buddy that has the stillens and he likes my injens better because the intake sound is louder and you can modify the fang vent covers on the facia to make it like ram air. Ive also notice cooler engine temps. Throttle response is better and engine revs smoother.
The answer to what happens if caught in a big rain storm is - nothing. Twice I got caught, it was raining sidways. I drove 17 miles home both times from work. Not one issue to speak of. Ive also driven in many other rain situations with no issue.. Also with the car washing. Water doesnt float so it wont magically raise up. A little water in the well means nothing. It'll drain out and thatll be that. Unless you burry your front end in the ocean you'll be fine and if water intake worries you that much. Get the mesh water shields,
