as far as starting a car with the pipe underwater, i wouldnt do it.. why do you think the mlitary raises the tail pipes on hmmwvs, when they install fording kits? if it didnt matter they wouldnt do it.. if it was already running i think it would be ok, but i wouldnt try starting it, the water is already too far up in the system, it might actualy cause it not to start... tell your buddy to try it with his own car first see what happens..
