There have been many discussions on this topic with much specilation. I'm here to put some of this to rest.
The pictures attached are of my car. I recently replaced the stock fuax vents with functional cf vents meant for a 2013 Mustang. These vents open up a ton and are far larger than the stock vents.
Yesterday the car was exposed to one of the hardest downpours we have seen in years. Then, I drove it home in the rain. This morning I washed it at a do it yourself car wash using a high pressure rinse. Moments after rinsing it off, I pulled it forward 40 feet to the drying station, popped the hood, and took these pictures. The engine was not cleaned after it came out of paint and was covered with a fine dust. Thus, anyplace where water fell would be easy to spot.
As you can see, there was a bit of water but for the most part, the engine was just as dry as it had been before.
