a member posted this in another V2 thread and it prompted me to do a little research.
we have had some pretty severe rain in Houston the past week so i decided to see if this actually happens on my S-dos. i removed the bumper, wrapped the AEM V2 with papertowels and poured some water on the hole indicated in the pic below. i watched the water drain directly onto the top of the V2 so this could potentially lead to hydrolock during a heavy rain.
my car is garaged at work and home, but i will probably plug the hole anyway to be on the safe side.

It seems threr is an engine compartment drain that is positioned right above the filter element. It dripped right onto the filter and filled the tube with water. The tube/filter point upward so there is nowhere for the water to go, but just sits in the lower tube.
So.......its not just sbout avoiding puddles. Be careful!
