For your power level,(what I call stock) No I wouldn't worry. Once you start modding and tunning your ride and pushing the limits, then yes it could.
If you foul a plug or a coil quits and you stay in it from not knowing, your A/F could spike and you can loose a motor in a matter of seconds. A good way to know is have a wideband or 2, one for each bank.

you can by some stuff to spray on wires and electronics to help keep water from bugging with them... i dont remember the name of it... i always sprayed it on the wires and dist cap of our race trucks... before every race... but if you plan on getting into any mud..i would not get a open air filter.. wouldnt even think about it
