A lot of cold air intakes that pull the air from under the car have a valve that prevents them from sucking in water. That way when you drive over a puddle you don't blow your engine, since water doesn't compress.. or combust for that matter. Ill try and find a picture. Might be called a back-up valve or something along those lines.

I think this is what your talking about. It's called an Air Bypass Valve. It ensures that only oxygen and not a oxygen/hydrogen mixture (sometimes called water) gets into you cars engine. Here is an example of one that AEM makes.
