There is a drain hole in front of the shaker where water runs out. As far as the water that enters the shaker when it rains, I dount know, but I would think there is another way for the water to drain within the shaker assembly. Either that or it evaporates from the engine heat before it reaches the filter.

There are multiple drains for incoming water- the first is on the shaker tray, then for water that gets inhaled by the shaker there is another drain at the bottom of the shaker scoop. Thats why there are those 2 hoses ziptied coming down from that area under the hood. And yeah that air silencer was the first thing to go- followed by the NVH 10lb paperweight bolted to the differential housing.

the NVH dampener is actually tuned to the opposite frequence of your stock gear set from the factory- it therefore eliminates vibration and sound (gear noise) when the car is stock. I have however removed this piece from ever mustang I have had and have NEVER noticed the slightest increase in noise or vibration- and if you are running a different gear set then it becomes totally worthless because they have a different vibration frequency. It is really easy to take off...and you'll be amazed how heavy the little POS is. Its just held on by 2 bolts, and a bracket that arches over the top to secure it. Here is a picture that highlights its location. (Its the Red thing by the differential pumpkin).

Edit- sorry for some reason the picture isnt showing up.
