Hey guys..I recently installed the aem intake on the V and i have been driving it around for little bit but im starting to realized that the intake isnt getting alot of air.So then i came up with a solution...where the foglights area is, i took off that plastic part and i could feel power with all the air thats getting sucked in which is good..but now here comes the problem, its raining constantly around here and im scared of water getting through that big gap and getting sucked in by the filter so now i put the plastic piece back. Does anybody have any idea what i could to do so the intake can get enough air...but with out water getting inside???

because water is so much denser than air your entire filter would have to be submerged in order for you to start sucking in water, so you would be going through a puddle at about half the height of your rims in order to suck in any water.

Hes right, for water to get sucked in the filter pretty much has to be submerged.
