Car stalled and sputter after a large rain storm. ( i didnt drive through it) I am just getting back the car from dealership and the diagnosis is the water got sucked in and shorted out MAF sensor. I live in South Florida (Fort Lauderdale) and rain here in April- June is no joke. I am seriously considering pulling this CAI system out and either going back to stock or to KN Typhoon system...sits much higher and looks like it can stay dryer. Am I over reacting here or have any you guys had similar issues. I have thought of going to Stillen Gen 3 until this happened...I feel even if give up some HP, the risk of these silly problems and the major scare of Hydro Lock... just doesnt seem worth it. Any thoughts?

Stillen G3's sit above the front crash bar and is hidden by the bumper from inclement weather, so it is an ideal choice. AEM and Injen sit down near the ground in the fender wells.
