dont put cold air intake.

or relocate your battery and using a intercooler top half piping, relocate your intake/maf on passenger side with the filter under the engine bay but not low enough water can get to it. and keeping the factory splash guards helps.

AEM sells a unit which is basically a coupler but would not allow water to be injested but instead would allow the air to come in from the outside in the event you were to suck some in. Read about it. Hope this helps. You can by one depending on what diamater you need. Goodluck.

or... just get a hose in front of your car pointed towards your intake...
