Bottom line is though that you have a WAI in FL!!!! Geeeze. I actually had the same problem with the Injen and sucking up water. So, I cut 4"s off the end and brought it up. But it's still in the fender. It worked out really cool because I still have a CAI with less of the risk. Be warned though, when 4"s is cut off the car will need to be retuned. Call Scott Siegel and ask him what we needed to do to mine when I cut it. It changed the whole fueling curve. He initially thought that it wouldn't make a difference, but we learned it did.
