Can Air Filters Handle a Lot of Water?

[dfownz]

I'm working on this intake for my 2000 Maxima and its going to be using the K&N stock air filter replacement. What I need to know is how much water can this filter directly take because I am eliminating the mouth of the intake and making a scoop that will go to a swishcheesed airbox. I assume that some water makes it into the airbox and hits the filter so I think I'll be ok, but I just need some reassurance.

Thanks,

DF

Be careful, tst your filter material: The nissan filter material at least sold here will turn into non air conducting pulp very soon if water gets in. Dont need much imagination to see how its sucked down the throat. Luckily I am not even an instant expert in this issue...

Overall I think youll get more, cheap horses as stock piping is widened. However, if u mean attachin a scoop through hood: the airspeed on hood never reaches over 15% of intake airspeed. So profit iwill be limited, surely there is some.

Nah, I'm relocating the battery to the truck and making a sheet metal scoop under the hood. It will push air towards the modified airbox and stop shit from under the car from splashing up.
