I was driving from the paintball store bby my house when i went through a puddle. it didn't seem that deep but it was deep enough for my tsunami front end to scoop water into my injen CAI. Bad enough i have a heat shield installed to act as a scoop for the air. My car bogged and almost dies, it ran like shiet for like 10 seconds. Smoke billowing out the exhaust, i freaked out then it started running OK again. it still gurgles and idles rough, but no major damage. Guess it's time to invest in a Bypass valve, eh?

Water "splashing" onto the intake won't do jack schitt. It's possible it MIGHT do something if you are flooring it WOT and a lot of water was splashing on it. Otherwise, it has to be totally submerged in order to suck water in.
The second thing is, you do realize the bypass valve takes away most of the power you might have gained. CAI's are designed to create a resonant pulse through the pipe, almost creating a reverse scavaging effect. This is part of where they get their power from. (other than the colder dense air) If you get a bypass valve, it almost negates any power you would have gained.
