Chance of hydrolock with this intake is slim to none, unless you plan on driving into a lake

I wouldn't say 'impossible' but is highly unlikely. I love my FIPK.

Or if you drive without a hood in the rain.

pour water on the filter while the engine is running will probably still not hydrolock since it's kn oil based filter.
