Aem V2 with bypass valve?
Does anyone have or know if you can put a bypass valve on the aem V2? I live in WI so it rains pretty much in spring, wanna make sure i don't kill my motor.

Shouldn't be a real problem usnless your driving through a puddle, submerging your air filter while accelerating. Your filter is pretty well protected where hydrolock shouldn't be a problem.

Nobody has any issues with engine failure due to intake sucking in water. your fine!!

Also, the filter has to be completely submerged in water to have a catastrophic failure.
