yes, cold air intakes run a risk of pulling water, but it also depends on the car. on hondas it's inevitable, short ram is the way to go. I don't know much about dodges but the "whale penis" as its called is definately the way to go in my opinion. but, like everyone else said, doing some research on your specific car can bring you the answer. whatever the case, I wouldn't ever spend more than $200 on an intake system.
