You guys have any issues with water getting in your airbox after running through a car wash? Obviously, it doesn't get into the intake, but it is coming through the air inlet by the hood on the passenger side. Any remedies to this besides not taking through a car wash?

I run mine through touchless car wash which uses jets all the time and never have a problem. Been doing it for a year.

Doesn't it have drain holes in the bottom?
I have not noticed any issues driving it through the touchless car wash.

Would need picture to see what you mean. The idea of the system of the lower box is any water that comes in drains out the hole up front on the passenger side of the grille

Thanks for all the input guys. Wasn't getting too much water in. Just a little. Drilled a couple more small holes in the bottom of the airbox.

Just curious, how did you come to find out the water was in there. Did you have a problem or just happened to check the box after?

Just happened to check the air filter and saw there was a little water sitting on the bottom of the airbox. Never had any issues.
