If I were to install a AEM c/a/i in my 99 GSR, would a bypass valve be recomended? How low is the filter from the ground? Are there any other types of c/a/i systems that are mounted higher than the AEM?

 

Bypass valve would be recommended or not recommended depending on who you ask. Basically, it gives you piece of mind but robs you of a couple of hp. The filter is about 1.5 ft off the ground. The Iceman intake uses the same location as the the stock air filter for its filter.
