Cai Bypass Valve

[E_SolSi]

it is connected its all one piece

i have no idea what cws13 is talking about

so when the bottom tube is under water where else would it draw in air?

 

[E_SolSi]

i dunno
i didnt make it
ask comptech

 

[SixtySecondAssassin]

well if theres no other holes anywhere it's gonna suck up water.

 

[E_SolSi]

there are a few small holes
other than that there is just the seam where the top of the box clips over the bottom

i dont know man, the CAI with the bypass valve sounds safer.

i dunno ... its up to you i guess ... ive read a lot of posts on "another board" about people hydrolocking with the AEM CAI w/ BPV... i have yet to see anyone hydrolock with an icebox

im sure if your careful youll be fine with whatever

If you guys go with a standard CAI chances are you will NOT hydro, but there is a chance of it happening. You could also go with the Comptech unit which will prevent that chance.

why would you drive through a deep puddle of water anyways if you know this will happen to your car??... use common sense

 

[JDMilan]

I don't think people try to drive through puddles to test if their ride might hydro, rally would be the most common autosport where your going through large amounts of water at times.

Living in CA you don't have to worry as much about hydrlocking I guess. E-sol is right actually, you are better of with the comptech if you are scared. The AEM with NO bpv is more efficient, but as soon as you CUT your intake and put on the bpv, you lose all that power and should have gone with the ice-box. Fuck bpv's. I'll try to find the article.
