Default Zip tie mod-worry about water?

I have done an extensive search and I cannot seem to find out if I need to worry about driving the car in the rain with the zip tie mod. I bought the car and it had the mod, and I don't have the stock airbox.
Thanks

I have the ziptie mod done to my car for about 8 months now.. All you need to do is just add on the hood seal mod, and you should be ok water wise.

I would buy the Z06 air box and put it back to stock.
I don't know why people want to rip the stock airbox off for unmeasurable gains.

I will get the stock airbox, but I am worried about driving the car in the rain. I won't go through any deep puddles, but the car will be sitting in the rain.

No worries unless you drive under a waterfall

Get some floatation devices, they have measurable gains...
