"Additionally, if you actually DID drive through water deep enough to get sucked past the filter, into the intake tube and then the throttle body, I can't imagine that the motor would be running long enough to allow that to happen. The intake is the source of air for the motor and cutting that off will, in all likelihood, cut the motor off almost immediately, thereby preventing vacuum from sucking water all the way into where it could cause damage. "

Hmm... Except that you would still be in gear...thus the engine would be a pump with the wheels turning it over, and since water doesn't compress, bye-bye engine.

Just a thought,

As an AEM CAI owner on my Teg, I have been studying and fearing the Deep Water for a number of years.

The threat of water suck is real. If you drive through deep water with the car in gear (engine turning with the wheels) the vacuum created will suck the water very fast and destroy the engine.

In my Teg, I avoid deep water like the plague and I have pulled over many times to wait for heavy rains to subside. I have been too lazy to install the bypass that AEM has now.

Pancho, does the intake have a place to hold the wiring harness that was previously attached to the stock box?
