I had one on mine when I was stationed in Wyoming. I would say it was worth it. I don't think it really affects performance.

Yes, get the damn hydroshield. I mean, is it worth the risk of totaling your car due to not having a 20$ shield? Don't be dumb. Buy the shield. You'll make the money back from MAF sensors you'll ruin without it.

It's not.

Def. get the hydroshield. Better safe than sorry. I have always had a hydroshield on my car, and have been through some intense rain storms w/o any issues. The hyrdroshield is also good for keeping the filter cleaner for a longer period of time. You will not notice any significant horsepower loss from a hyrdroshield.
