ost_uid0]Yeah - Don't worry too much about water injestion if you're just running cold air ducting up into the factory air box. It'd take a lot of work to fill the airbox to the bring and actually end up with water in your motor.
On my last car the CAI was actually designed in such a way that the intake pod sat level with the bottom of the bumper, in a cool area between the gearbox and the front end. Cool air came in through the bumper area as well as from below. Ofcourse this meant that it was like having a drinking straw attached to the motor about 15cm above ground level.
I never had any probs with water, except with the actual filter material getting damp and reducing performance. Ofcourse I didn't do the stupid thing and drive through deep standing water... Splashing was/is OK though.
In some ways I miss that intake - thanks to the shaping of it it "bellowed" at WOT... quite a fearsome noise
