Not the easiest installation but I did manage it myself, no problems with water coming into the system if driven smartly. I have driven in the rain without incident but with the flash flood warning today I decided to take the other car. Results are second to none

My C5 has the B1 on it, it was on the car when I bought it, so I can not say anything about how hard it is to put on but have read on the forums here that it can be a PITA to put on. I have no fitment issues with mine, whomever put it on did a great job.
My car is a DD and has seen plety of rain. I've had the car six months and so far there have been no problems what so ever, but I do avoid puddles and spots that look like there may be a lot of water if I can. The only thing I did was order their gray filter after talking with a tech. It only had the thin foam filter at the time I bought the car. The tech told me to save the foam filter for the track and put in the gray one for daily use.
I really like the system, it sure feels like it makes more HP above 65 to 70 mph compaired to other C5s I have driven without the system.
Good luck.

installation itself it not hard at all, getting things to line up like they should is a whole other beast...
plenty of threads here on the forum to look through with both horror stories and praise...
realistically the only way to find out is to do the install yourself and come to your own conclusion...
