My worry is that the wet filter would not flow much air.

Cool, thanks for the correction.
I wonder if condom would work too?

Moist air is actually less dense than dry air - water vapor is lighter
than air. So when it's dry, engines run better than when it's humid.

Ok, I'm done spouting my newfound (or renewed) knowledge, back to pods
and shower caps!

  
        
Remember, moist air is denser which can help the combustion process.
OK, that's a stretch..... I am all wet around the ears.
