Water in any engine is bad. At idle it may just stop your engine at higher rpms it will bend rods.

With cold air intakes this is a good idea^^^^. Short rams just suck hot air from you engine bay.

prove me wrong,
in automatic, the transmission dis-engages right when the motor shuts off and it doesn't suck in enough water to cause damage.
but in manual, (unless you put it in to neutral) it will suck in water and i cannot describe after that. ur valves will bend and ur motor will start knocking.
my car (automatic) sucked in water twice both time i couldn't do anything about because of my speed. i couldn't change my lane.
my motor still runs perfectly fine w/o a single knocking sound.

Hydrolocked motors don't knock, they most often dont run. bent valves/rods can knock but cheap gas can cause knock too.
If you sucked in water twice then that shows you need to be more careful when driving.
