Yes and yes. The CAI will suck up water and hydrolock your engine if it is submerged. I drive in very rainy weather with mine, and I've been fine so far. If you're conecerned, you can get a bypass valve from AEM (~$40 I think). You install that inline, and in the case that the filter is submerged, air will be sucked in through the valve instead. I have one, but I ended up putting a rubber coupler in its place since it causes HP loss.
