I've been running one like that for a couple years w/o any problems.
It may get a little warm when standing in traffic but cools off when you get moving again.
I still have the snorkel that goes over the battery to help guide cooler air at it.
BTW; Are you missing a clamp on the filter?

i washed my truck yesterday with a bucket, cloth and garden hose (normally hit the car wash) and when i got done i opened the hood and noticed mine did get wet. i think the water came from where the hood and drivers front panel meet. took it off and let it dry in the sun before re-installing.

I would just try to get the pipe to fit into the hose or filter further to get the filter out from under the drip edge.

I am also worried about my 6637 when I go 4x4 and play in the mud/water... I usually throw in the stock air box (even though its leaky and is really bad) for the 4x4 trip then switch back to my 6637 when i get back home

I agree the 6637 is a great filter but we need a better alternative. I like the covers that you can buy to put over them but are they water proof? I have seen a fabric that will breathe and is waterproof. I can't remember the name right now but I have even had some at one time.

Would a water proof filter still be able to breathe??
Some of these filters are already water resistant.
