    Youll never get that much water in the engine bay. But if youre worried about it you can buy the plastic cover piece from a member on here no longer using theirs. Believe it will fit over the uni-filter with minimal trimming.

    The only time Ive had issues is after hosing down the engine bay and forgetting to dry the uni-filter off before starting the truck.

    Edit: Not saying Ive had an actual issue yet because I havent. But did make myself cringe as soon as I started it up and heard the pump running. Knew whatever water was on the filter just got sucked in.

    The Air Filter is definitely the step in preventing this issue. I wanted to provide a few other resources on the failure prone Secondary Air Injection System. The question is not "If" it will fail but "When" it will fail. If you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out, DM or give us a call.

    Did the conversion about 8 months ago, the filter did not come oiled.
