Yea. I think the water intake on this would be huge. You might think about getting a black K&N Drycharger (http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=RF-1042DK) and putting it over the inlet behind the grill. It's coated to reduce water flowing through it but still allow air flow. Granted the airflow will be reduced but seems well worth it if it keeps water out of the engine.
