Is cold air intake a big risk for my 98 Chevy Camaro? (i.e. hydrolock)?

I'm driving a 98 Chevy Camaro (3.8L v6). I was looking at possibly installing a cold air intake but I don't want to hyrdolock my engine. The intake I am looking at(K&N filter and chrome tubes) is supposed to go from my intake port, down to the bottom of my car and the filter is supposedly put somewhere in or a round the fender well. I live in Florida where it rains quite a bit and I often encounter puddles that spray water around when you hit them.I know I could get a bypass valve but I don't know if they are absolutely necessary. Could some one please tell me the truth about the odds of sucking in enough water, with the filter in the noted location, to hydrolock my engine. Thank you for all your help!!
 
You should get a bypass valve just to be safe because if some water gets in the engine it may really mess things up/
