Default Need Intake Bypass Valve for my CAI?

Hi, I recently installed a K&N Typhoon CAI on my 04 Honda Accord Coupe EX. I already put the drycharger on the filter but I'm still concern of hydro-lock.
I heard that an AEM bypass valve will help. However, does anyone know if an AEM bypass valve will work on the K&N Typhoon? If it does... is it worth it?

Well you shouldn't be worried unless you go through a gigantic puddle. In that case, even the bypass valve won't help.

the bypass valve negates any gains you may see from a cai

Trust me, you don't need a bypass valve. My CAI gets soak & wet every time I drive in the rain & nothing has happened in 2 years. The filter sits in front of the passenger wheel and I have no plastic underneath to protect it either.
