Yep, had this happen with my Injen. Flooded road but thought I'd be OK (guessed the filter was above the water level) and babied it through as slow as I could. Well it cut out and I had to jump out and push the car to the side of the road.

Pulled the pipe off and drained a cup of water out of it. Didn't have a spark plug spanner to take them out. Managed to get it going again after about half an hour of cranking in short bursts with some time in between for the starter to keep cool. Ran very rough a few times when I did get it started (and conked out again) but eventually dried up and ran a treat. I guess I was lucky and all I was really suffering from was wet spark plugs and odd readings to the ECU from a wet MAF as I was just idling. I'd follow the advice in the posts above.

Fingers crossed you haven't bent anything.

If you get it started and she's apples I recommend a precautionary oil and filter change.
