My bypass valve is due to arrive in a few days and I dont exactly were to put it. I would appriciate a pic or 2 of it installed on an ITR please . Thanks in anticipation guys.

 

You have to cut the pipe in 2 pieces....

 

yep, break out the hacksaw

 

Cut the fucken pipe???? Cannot be fixed at the end near the throttle body??

 

That won't fit, because the pipe will be off to the left....
Do you really need that valve?

 

Yeah i think so ! But dont I doesn't rain much over hear but if it does im a afraid that it will suck water in the engine.

 

I heard it will only suck water when the filter is almost completely in a puddle....

 

you wont suck in water. . . i dont suggest getting the valve, they suck i have broken many of them , i now got a new aem cuz i was sick of seeing the silicone connector in place of the bypass . looked like ***.

 

i wouldn't do it....it's just one more weak link in the the AEM, makes the fitment suck even more. a friend ran at the track recently with his, and was surprised to find that when the engine got really heated up the damn thing expanded enough to basically disconnect on both sides of the pipe, bypassing the filter....

just sell it all and get a comptech setup if you're worried about water suck.

 

Is it so dangerous guys?????

 

is what dancgerous. . . . water? yes if it gets to the engine . . but that is very slim to none. as long as you use common sense. . . . the by[pass vavle isnt dangerous, but they break from the stress of engine movements durng hard shifts

 

no point in getting a cold air intake if the bypass is just gonna be sucking up HOT *** engine heat anyway right

 

thats another really good point

 

Actually, I just put my intake and bypass on my R this weekend. I'll try to get pics soon. But to comment on the bypass being useless, the bypass has rubber valves that stay closed until the air intake pressure is dropped. Then it will activate and open up. I don't think it's sucking in hot air from the engine.

 

my friends bypass valve was very very close to getting sucked right into his throttle body. bypass valves get a huge

 

This whole post is why I went to the Comptech Icebox.

Been there, did all that...

A.

 

well to answetr your question ,
here are pics of what the bypass valve looked like when on and after i got sick of replacing them, the 1st one is kinda shitty , was taken with a crappy camera.
