nope, never seen or heard of one...if you're going through enough water to get on the opti, you should probably invest in a snorkel intake too

The opti is mounted low on the motor and directly in the line of any water splashed by the front wheels. You don't need to submerge these suckers for them to act up unless it's been taken apart and resealed.

Directly inline with water being splashed from the front wheels??? I don't now what kind of hybrid LT1 your driving but I can assure you thats not the case with an F-body.
