Guys,
If you think about where the intake is installed, you wouldn't be worrying about getting water in the engine. It is over a foot off the ground and protected by plastic undertray. You would literally have to drive through water that was higher than half way up your wheels to get water near the intake.

BB AP1,
Do you mean the water by pass? If so, no.
s2ktaxi,
Given the way we cut the hole, it is very unlikely that the tire will spray any water into that space -- the hole is from the side, and there's almost no intrusion into the wheel well that could be a problem. No doubt some water will get into the space from the vent, but since the filter is blocked in front and is raised up about 3 or 4 inches above the floor of the space (out of the direct line of fire of any water that enters the vent), under all but flood conditions I don't think there will be any problem.

Rick,
After some of us helped Ben install his AEM, we took a little trip to Worcester for the evening which led to, of course, a bit of playing. With Ben and Glenn's cars side by side in 3rd gear, around 50 mph, Ben's car pulled away HARD once they hit VTEC. He's running the Mugen header, VTEC controller, and the intake. If he can somehow prove a lot of tht is due to that combination of parts, I may have to start searching under the couch cushions for some spare change

Given the amount of kick in VTEC, my butt dyno has a hard time telling any difference. But you also have to remember that I was accustomed to performance with the RM, which beyond any doubt degraded performance. So what my butt is feeling below VTEC could just be the difference between the AEM and the RM. But it is definitely quicker, consistent with what the dyno tests others have done show.
