This has happened to me before when i had my 2005 g35c. I had the injen intake, plenum spacer, and lower plenum. When it started limping and not let me go over 3000 rpm, i went home removed the plenums and intake only to find that everything was dry... soo i put everything back together and drove it the next day with no problem. It never happened again.

R2c filters are dry. They are, without a doubt, the best.

I think this theory about water soaking up into the filter while being parked might be right.

LOL..
same thing happened to me a month ago after a heavy rainfall. I was like..WTF?!?!

So i took out my MAF's, noticed some moisture on them. Dried them out for about an hour, put them back in and the car worked fine. So I then went to Home Depot, picked up water proof foil tape, and taped the bottom of the car where the filters sit. Now the water/snow does not get to the filter. I have not had problems since, and its been raining/snowing almost everyday.

I hope this helps.

Where exactly? You mean when you take off that bumper and their is a plastic piece about 1.5 - 2 inch below where the intake sits you tape right about the filter?

From what Ive seen water is coming in the top not the bottom.. Seems pretty impossible for it to ooze in the bottom lol

I'm thinking its how Injen designed it to pick up from the ground as apposed to getting it from the front and keeping the design pretty much leveled.

I have no problems with my GEN3, love them! (knock on wood)
