If your intake is actually a HAI with the filter sitting in the engine bay, you can drive through all the puddles you want: no water's gonna get that high up. If you have a CAI with a filter sitting close to the ground, do watch for puddles, but you can still drive through rainstorms.

 

 

still waiting on my K&N 57i short ram for my 99 a4 2.8. I was surprised that Canadian tire offered the lowest price that I could find. I was kind of embarassed going in to CT and ordering something lol. The only garbage part is that no one has the part so its a 3 week wait period. Should be coming in august 9thish. I'll post a vid once I get it all installed
