Possible Problem?

Well for those of you from the area, you know that it downpoured here for about a half an hour. I was driving on my way home. The rain was falling so heavy that the streets couldn't "clear" it off quick enough. As I was driving at low speeds with many other vehicles, my car stalled/shut off as I went through some of the "puddles" I guess you could say. It started right back up as I pulled into a parking lot to wait out the storm, but do you think any damage may have been caused to the engine? There was a lot of water traveling through the wheel wells, any help/ideas would be appreciated.

Check your intake. It's probably soaked, if so let it dry COMPLETELY before reinstalling...

How low to the ground are the intakes on the SS/SC?

The CAI on the 2.2 and 2.4 only comes out to right below the headlight. Do y'all's go lower than that?

I thought it might be related to the filter getting wet. I'll be sure to let it dry. I mean the car didn't feel any different afterwards, but still who knows what may happen. The filters for the intakes on the SS/SC are below the headlights as well, I never saw one on a 2.2 or 2.4 so I'm not sure if they are lower or not.

It rests against the splash guard on the bottom. It's directly behind the fog light.
