i was wondering if there are any issues with a front mount in the rain or getting wet?
 
hehe yeah.

outside air doesn't actually get into the piping. its just a big heat sink with a pipe going through it.
 
Actually, many have experimented with water spray kits that spray the intercooler to increase it's cooling performance. C02 and NO2 have also been used.
 
Okay well I knew a guy that ran through some water and he blew his motor he had a huge front mount and it was a wrx so the intake was pretty high but it blew his motor so I did not know if the intercooler being submerged could have caused this problem or not, i just wanted to make sure of any safety precautions thank you!​
 
well water could get in there if its submerged...

rain and being submerged are two different things.
 
I live in the NW, and it rains here a lot, and I have never had issues. Really should be not a concern unless your car is actually in water.
