as long as you dont drive through a deep puddle you'll be fine, n aem should also offer (iforgotwhatitscalled) a valve that u can install to prevent hydrolocking, at least from my experience with hondas

From what I understand, you would pretty much have to submerge your intake in water for it to actually hydrolock. Also, if you want to install and air bypass valve it pretty much negates any effect that the CAI added to start.
