Well the MAF is a big deal, sure it can fit, but that's the least of their problems in designing an intake for our cars. Neither CT-E, T1R, or Mugen Intake will produce much more power than what is already available for our cars, they are intakes they shouldn't be expected to produce big gains. What they will hopefully do is offer an intake that offers more drive ability not and not just +1-2 peak hp like your CAI.

As far as hydro locking, it is not something that happens easily and as long as your not deliberately driving through HUGE amounts of water, most likely you will be fine.
