you try to suck water from a cup using 1 inch big straw, see whether you can drink the water or not. not to mention he is using a 3" long hose pipe. ^^ simple theory.

Nope. I have an opening for CAI at my bumper. When rev normally, its not strong enough to suck up water. In fact, you can hardly feel it. You can only feel it when you full throttle then it feels like a vacuum cleaner. So the idea of it sucking up water is minimal, more like sucking up dirts from the floor. If there is ever a flood in spore, to play safe just disconnect the CAI temporary and drive thru the flood loh.
Ying:
More air is good, more clean cool air is better. IMO, CAI with opening close to ground + loose filter = more dust particle get into the engine. That will harm your engine in the long run in exchange for drive pleasure. Give and take.
I am looking for a spare stock air intake for an experiment to get more cool clean air, for fun.
