any of you guys using a bypass valve for you aem v2?

 

Does the V2 come with a bypass valve? I helped install one in my friends car and it didnt come with one. Unless its optional.

 

no, it does not come w/ one. but i have one laying around. So im just wondering if anyone is using one on there aem v2. Its a $300 intake , and i dont want to cut it , unless the bypass valve will have effect.

 

From the way it sits, it doesnt seem too low to where it would hydrolock unless your car is slammed.

 

well, it IS a CAI. so there for im just a little curious if i need a bypass valve.

 

If there are any big puddles itd be wise...

I hear technically its not a CAI because it sits a bit differently than most others.

 

Basically if the filter comes anywhere near water or rain and stuff will be hitting the filter a lot then you'd probably want to get one. It really depends where you live and what the weather is like there.

 

hmm thanks,
i think il jsut cut my intake, n slap one on just incase.
beter save then sorry!
thanks for the input guys

 

the bypass doesn't work with a v2

 

1. a bypass valve defeats the purpose of a cai
2. unless you're submerging the filter, water splashing on it isnt much of a problem
3. keep your inner fender lining in place
4. as stated, a bypass valve wont fit anyway
