This should help clarify

K&N FIPK

Most CAI

This is where you have to cut the plastic tire well

This is where the filter sits

The problem that was reported with the AEM CAI is not really the route it takes but the fact that the filter is tilted slightly upwards. This in turn allows water to collect and sit in the dip of the filter and easily run into the tube. This is assuming you have an excess of water pouring onto the filter. IMO, this should never occur in the first place; but to each his own.

This is also an option

So no hydrolock's ever with the FIPK, huh? It really seems like a great option. Shame about the heat soak, but I may try an FIPK anyway.

Bummer you didn't think about or research hydrolock before you installed the intake. I'd remove it and go back to stock (or a FIPK or something similar). Cold air intakes seem like a big hassle - from the install/cutting your liner, to being paranoid about puddles. Not worth the MINOR power enhancement.
