i don't think hyrolock is the concern, but rather that the oem airbox is purposely convoluted to decel the water before it hits the filter, then drain out the bottom.
more 'direct line' intakes don't do this, so there is opportunity to saturate the filter element. uncertain what this would do - ruin it? wash all the oil off and cancel any filtering abilities? reduce ability to breathe? dunno.
the other concern is where the low point in the intake lies. on the oem box it is before the filter, so any water, condensation, etc., will pool and drain here. in more straight line systems, the low point may lie after the filter which could send a big shot of agua at the motor on start-up, or the low point could be the filter itself, which might cause the problems listed above.
no experience here, just what my concerns might be. that's why i thing the cayman box is the solution - big filter element, straight line for airflow, proper diameter piping, etc.
