2 questions:
1- Is the filter still good after it dries?
2- Has anyone modified their intake to prevent it from sucking in water?
Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.

after adjusting my hood as much as possible, i installed weather stripping seal on both the body and hood to keep water out of the air intake tuba. i am still looking for a bulb seal that will work.
there is a known problem with water infiltrating the windshield wiper motor and connectors from this source too.
i am using a k&n oiled gauze air filter pn 33-2062-1 in my original airbox. the k&n works fine after it dries. some airboxes leak around the seals. the seals on the k&n fit the airbox tightly.
i would recommend the s&b oiled gauze air filter element pn 66-2014d because it is thicker for better filtration.
they both flow a lot more air than paper filters and will not be damaged by water.
