The duct is not water-proof. However, no CAI type of products are, but the chance of water getting into your engine is slim to none with using the air-duct in the rain.

Have fun with it.

Don't worry, I drove from Hawaii to California and back via the ocean and no water got sucked inside.

Nah seriously, I've had no problems with water getting sucked into my duct but more road sediments to end up in the primary chamber of the airbox. This isn't a problem for Mr. ShopVac.

I've even shot some water using my garden hose into the duct to see how far up it'll reach and still, no water got into the airbox. I can't guarantee that it never will but's it's okay to not worry so much about it.
