my intake is right behind my fog light. if you have all the fenderlinings in you should not have any problems. I drive mine in colorado weather where after it snows there are massive puddles of water, and i still have not had any problems. But if you are really worried about hydrolocking get the aem bypass valve.

Here's my post on the intake if anyones interested:

an intake isnt really much of a performace mod or at least on the es. the only difference i notice between cai and sri was a change in tone. but hypothetically it should be better because im no longer pulling in warm air from the motor. Either way, it gives the es a little more ***** every time i gun it or at least makes it sound like it does. I sound kind of like a ricer saying that. haha

in performance wise theres not much of difference between sr n cai. just CAI breaths colder air which gives better gas mileage.
