This filter would get soaked in a rain when the water ran between the fender and hood! Right?

The link won't work, but if you're talking about one of these, I've had one on my truck for nearly 50000 miles without a problem in Seattle weather. As much as it rains here, if I haven't had a problem, you won't either.

I've had one of these on my truck for a long time now with absolutely zero problems. And I've splashed through water, mud, and even went through nearly two feet of backwater once with out getting the filter element wet. I did get a little dab of mud on it once but other than that no probs.

Hey QuadZ... that brake fluid looks nasty-dark! But the intake pipe looks nice and shiny!

I looked at your picture and I see that you have the ftlter secured with a fenderwell clamp. My question is; how do you get the filter out to change it? On mine, there's not enough compression in the rubber fittings to allow the filter to be pushed towards the engine far enough for the filter to clear the clamp. The only way I see to do it is to completely unscrew the clamp tightening screw and bend the clamp so the filter can be pulled straight up. Am I missing something?

Good point, but that ain't my truck. Merely a pic that shows the TYMAR better than anything I've taken of my truck. That truck is actually Dale Isley's truck.

The filter media is hydroscopic, meaning it will bead water, rather than soaking it up. I live in Seattle where it rains often, and I wash my truck more often than most. If I haven't had a problem in the 50000 miles since I installed one, I don't expect you will, either.

That clamp is one of the things that separates a TYMAR from a home made intake. The clamp lifts the filter off the inner fender, so air can be drawn in over the whole 360*. The clamp can be bolted to the fender, like I did, or not. To remove/replace the filter, I loosen the bolt that holds this clamp closed, and loosen one of the ring clamps on the intake pipe. It's really a non-issue, once you see it up close.
