It's a piece of tubing.... it won't suck up any water as there is no form of pressure/suction?

as above pic, the stardcold air feed is actually quite good, alot of people to keep, but to the shape of the pipe, the cold can be more dense if installed in the correct the place.
-e and ma mate, took of the cold air infeed pipe, sitatued the front of the pipe at the bottm just in front of the engine and adapted a plast hose pipe awt the end runing into the standard sir filter box.
Drilled the bottom of the box.
The results were amazing, the amount of air tht got of the engine help the performance and keeping it cool. But aware that it is a clean feed at the bottom so the filter was getting more dirty than often so a increase in filter was required!
