You are probably OK by changing the filter element and not the entire air filter housing. For any of you who perform the function of taking apart the stock H2 airbox, please report back what you find. I have taken mine apart and the design by H2 engineers to keep water out of the engine is very impressive. By the way, the stock air filter flows very well, is made by donaldson and its made to get wet and still not let water into the motor.
Sooner or later somebody will post on here how they changed their airbox and forgot about it, then went trailing and did a little stream crossing and got reminded.
Either way, if you are not hard core offroading, changing the filter element should be OK.
