Do you have an AEM v1/v2, Injun or ebay special intake? If not, you should be fine.

Unless you're running some kind of CAI, you should be fine. I'd still be careful though. Wouldn't want water making it inside your exhaust or interior.

The intake is up high ... so I think if you go slow, you should be fine. I know what you mean though ... I'm paranoid about my car, just last night this is what happened to me: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=562006

Be careful.

i have a stock intake so i guess i shouldn't worry. going to rain for another week. i got the white smoke too but it was coming from under my whole car. so im assuming its my exhaust since i got my test pipe and exhaust put in.

ive been in cali rain with you man its so fun for the past week. dont worry about puddles unless you have a CAI like everybody already mentioned but you should worry about those big mu****as that sneak up on you while on the freeway. I ran into a few huge puddles on the freeway that made the car pull a little so be careful at high speeds. other then that you're good to go man have fun!
