This CAI goes down into the drivers side cavity right behind your factory fog light cover. As to how low it sit' s, it looks like it sits atleast 6 inches down into the cavity if not more. There could be a possiblity of it sucking water in if you go through a large/deep enough puddle. It does have the option to make it a short ram intake also. In all honesty save yourself some money and go with the Injen short ram, it will give you almost if not the same gains and there would be no worries about sucking water into the engine and hydrolocking the engine.

Yes the intake will give you a nice growl, add an axle back exhaust and the whole car will give you a some great sound.

Just to give you an example of what an intake and exhaust will give you sound wise here is two vid's for you, some of the sound you hear is the intake.
