Do AEM V2 have removable tube sections to convert to a short ram when needed?

as long as you dont completely submerge the filter for more than a few seconds it wont suck up enough water to cause hydrolock. water splashing onto the filter isnt much of a concern.

Intake bypass = cheap insurance!

If the main filter gets waterlogged, then the air can still get in through the bypass without sucking up the water.
