Default Air Bypass Valve?

I tried a search on this and came up with nothing.

Recent floods in my area are making me a little worried about having my CAI. Either my stock box goes back in, or I buy one of these bypass valves. I want to know what the pros and cons are. Little Help ?

what you should do is cut the CAI, get a rubber 3" cuppling and whenever it raine just move the filter from the CAI piping to the first section.

the bypass dosent work that well.

I had my CAI for about 2 years and no problem. iheard it was not worth buying. but like the other guy said, cut and put a rubber in the middle, so if it rains switch it with the filter. in california it doesn't rain much, but if it rains hard, i just take he whole system out and put the filter on the throttle body.
