when it rains my filter gets wet. Its not like i drive thru puddles just rain. Im in houston so when it rains it pours. Today when i checked the filter in the fenderwell area with my hand by touching it, its wet. Now my car is running normal and this is not the first time the filter is a litle wet. Now what u guys think? Is this bad for the car? maybe the water is not affecting the engine. I dont want to get a short ram and the by pass valve wont do anything if its just "drops" of water getting sucked in becuase the fileter is damp.

 

i don't have a wheel well ne more so water can get to my intake pretty easily when it rains. and i've driven through some pretty tough rain and had no problem.

 

What happened to your wheelwell? I was driving one day going about 85mph and I guess the clamps came loose. The wheelwell liner came back against my tire and started rubbing it, I didnt know what the hell was going on, I thought my tire was getting ready to blow. I just pulled over and ripped the damn thing off. Oh well.

 

The oil keeps it wet. Moisture wont hurt your car. Water deep enough to completely submerge the filter is what you need to worry about.

 

are u talking about the oil on the filter? i dont have a K&N. Its a generic filter. Anyways its still getting wet and i think its from lil splashes when i drive on wet roads. Is that something to worry about?

 

Yeah mines not K&N either. You have nothing to worry about.

 

for the wheel well on my drivers side where my intake is broken because i cracked my kit once and it broke with it. and the other side i was driving about 110 for an hour going to visit my parents and my wheel well just made a hole in it then broke off after making some weird wind noises for about 20 minutes.
