Looking for a part for my CAI

Didn't know really where to post this as it applies to just about everything intake wise...

I plan on converting my Injen setup to CAI come summer, and I don't want it running the risk of sucking in water.

Some friends of mine who are Civic tuners said they use some kind of special piece for the intake, that will suck in air from the upper part of the intake if the lower filter ever becomes wet or submerged.

Any of you heard about this thing? Where can I get it? More importantly... will it work on the Injen CAI?

I like to play it safe. I would rather loose a few HP and make sure my car is safe in wet weather.

I understand what he's saying... F/I setups make so much vaccuum on the intake that it would suck through the piece... and you'd lose any gains you would get from having the CAI to start with.

not that. It will still suck some water up.
