aem intake on a 03 wolfsburg
 

hey guys, i recently just installed an AEM cold air intake on my 2003 jetta wolfsburg ed. Is this a good idea? I've been reading around that there could be a chance that water can get in and pretty much screw up yourengine. Should i be worried?
Theres a grill plate that was blocking alot of air to the air filter so i cut a nice seciton away for more air to go through, prob makes a little difference but i guess now its more vulnerable when it rains or snows..
