Zoodad Info?

I'm curious, i've heard a lot about this mod being done. I got the AIS intake, but my question if i do this won't it let water in, or will i be okay doing this. I would like to get a screen over it to kinda keep the bugs out.

I've got nearly 100k miles on my Zoodad and have been running a AirRaid intake that entire time. Knock on wood, I haven't had any problems and we get some CRAZY rain storms in FL.

The only reports of a filter getting wet with a zoodad mod one was in a hurricane with horizontal rain at 80 mph and the other was a complete white out snow storm, both drivers admit they had no business on the road. Another option is to drill a series of 3/8" holes very close together rather than one large hole, this will keep any debri out.

I built a screen much like Outlaw's for mine from parts I got at Lowes for less than $10. Great mod. I run an Airaid behind it and since I added my 4" exhaust it sounds like it'll suck you through the grill.
