Thats not necessary, we figured out, most if the Water is getting sucked in from a leaking Fender wall arch, when driving in rain.
The Cooler is not the problem in that case, its just the spot where it gets collected.
We will make a ABS Plastic Pipe that clips into the Airbox and goes with the opening towards the A-pillar.

And I wonder if anyone with CAI have had the shudder issue. Wouldn't the CAI kind of keep the water from getting in the intake?
I have the aFe stage II CAI, and after I wash my truck I can see water sitting in the stock bottom half of the intake where the stock air filter went into,but my aFe filters are to far away to suck it up.

I know when I size intake vents for buildings I keep the velocity below 500fpm to keep droplets of water from being sucked indoors.
I don't know how many CFM these motors pull, but if someone knows the answer I can convert it to FPM.

Last time I checked with Wagner USA ( which was about a 3-4 weeks ago ) they said production to start for the 13 coolers was slated for end of August.
Whether that means they will be available for purchase at end of August or if a production run will take a bit of time, he couldn't say when I talked to him.
So not quite there yet but getting closer!
