xviper, examining your pic above, are you talking about the hole on top or the hole I see on the side?

It's the most obvious hole near the center of the pic.
You can either place a suitable sized rubber bung that doesn't sit up too high or duct tape, but the duct tape will degrade and have to be changed about once a year.

Xviper is 100% correct. My AEM had no problems driving thru puddles. But one day and one day only I left it out of the carport during a heavy rainstorm. I went to start it the next morning and hydrolocked my motor. The #4 cylinder wall failed. My AEM CAI is now gathering dust.
