i think its because people are ignorant and dont use the drain valve AEM put there.
your going to have to go full throttle and submerge the filter in a big HUGE puddle of water
hydrolocking happens when people park the car and then it rains,
they dont use the drain,
you will not hydrolock your s while driving unless its raining a CRAZY unseen amount.
if your s is parked out side and it rains, unplug the plug to the drain BEFORE you start the car
and you will be fine.
and even make the umbrella for the aem v2 intake and you will not hydrolock your car.

the very first day, very first, i got it and installed it; it rained. hard too. i installed it in the afternoon, that night, i leave from my girlfriend's house and my car was parked outside for a long time. i go start the car (still raining) and everything sounds fine. the freeway is about a mile from her house. well i gun it on the on ramp and all of a sudden the car stutters and misfires. sure enough the check engine lights comes on. the next day i take apart the intake. what do i find? water in the tube.
so this post points out that why dont people just drain it before they leave. ok, yes. let's get in our cars. turn the steering wheel all the way to the left so i can "easily" reach the duck bill. the get out, reach blindly in the dark, while its raining hard on me and somehow hold an umbrella (yea right!) trying to fill for the rubber bill. the pull it out. then, oh shit, blindly try to put it back it. yes next time it rains, go stand outside in the rain for 5 minutes then get in your car. yes, that night i should have been thinking that instead of running to the F**king car like every normal person instead of crawling under my car search blindly for it.
but, ever since that night, i have covered up the holes and diy umbrella that sucker. i never had a problem. i have been through so many intakes. all of them have their flaws!!! i currently have my aem v2 and kept it the longest, including the oem. i have driving through legendary storms. storms that has zero visibility, and forces to to pull over and praying to god you dont hit someone when you do. i have driven 9 damn hours in a F**king heavy rain. i was driving from little rock, arkansas to atlanta, georgia and the storm happened to be moving east with me. yes i drive slow too.
its your fault not the cai
how in the right mind would gun it when its raining knowing they have a cai...
cut the linner so its easy to get to, you just have to cut 2 inches more in the liner
and its NOT hard to get to unless you have no hand eye coordination, its RIGHT THERE unplug and plug back.
but you run to the F**king car like being careless thinking omg im getting wet!
and therefore hydro locking your engine, good job....
i would rather get wet and know for sure there is no water in the pipe

whaooo calm down there man. when i say gun it, i dont mean i punch the gas and redline it. that is absolutely retarded. i had to accelerate to get on the freeway. i guess another way of saying it would be i moderate accelerate appropriately onto the freeway reaching a safe speed to merge with traffic. well, im not sure how small ur hands are but i have to turn the wheel all the way to the right to get to it. i guess i could reach it without turning. but im just saying, making an umbrella for the cai would be an easier solution. i have been in so many situations where i cannot get down on my hands and knees and get wet trying to pull the duck bill. if i and going to an interview, where appearance counts. yea, looking wet doesn't land you the contract. just make and umbrella and dont drive into lakes and you'll be fine. also dont remove the liner like my friend did and hydro locked it.
