I highly doubt it. Even so, that's why it has the lower part that traps and drains water.

Well I installed mine yesterday. I don't know about anyone else but it took me longer then the 4-5 hours I think. I ran into trouble when it came time to line the cowl, Z mount and the snorkel up and bolt it down. Nothing lined up at all. I found it was because of the way it was manufactured and the hole placement. I finally ended up just bolding the fender side back on and making sure everything was good and tight, drilled the holes and bolted it all down. So far I haven't had any problems out of it but it's only been a day.

But all in all this writeup helped a ton along with the instructions that came with it.
