I like the volant, plus its in a contained box...if you notice under our hoods everything is sealed for the water fording capability...my fear would be the exposed k&n grabbing a lot of water and it getting into the throttle body....

After attending the South Bend Hummer Off-Road Course in my H3 in Oct., It would be stupid and foolish to ford in more than 24 inches in water at more than 5 mph. and 16 inches of water at 20 mph., as it was instructed by the Hummer trail guides and states in the owners manual. So it is a mute issue regarding the air intake taking water. If you go that deep where the air intake takes water your screwed anyways, And yea the Volant would take water too. It is not an completely air tight box. What good would that be then. No air could get to the manifold. Again, refer to your Hummer manual as to fording in water. Air intakes regardless of stock, K&N, and even Volants or others are are not designed for deep fording. Unless specified and then still you would need a deep fording kit to include a exhaust that pertrude out and up as so not to allow water in thru the exhaust.
