MS CAI is fine, get that.
Just use caution when washing the car, don't direct the water stream directly at the filter.
I ran mine through many car washes with no problems.
Wasn't until the dealer sprayed water directly on the filter did I get too much water in my intake and it bogged the car down (water across the MAF).
Someone here had a good idea to put a plastic bag over the filter while washing the car just to be safe.
And don't worry about rain... I ran through many storms with no problems.

Water doesn't hurt the engine. It just turns to steam. It actually helps clean the motor out. But I'd recommend distilled water, or some clean source for scheduled cleaning, over street puddles.

I retract my previous post.....
I couldn't help it and had to download the MS intake installation manual.
According to the contents section, the MS intake DOES come with two couplers:

Another solution is, to buy a heat shield and get it installed, that could help the stop the intake sucking water.
