Since I'm in a good mood I'll give you a short answer though instead of just flaming.
It works well, bumps up mid-range torque exactly as their dyno indicates and makes a very mean growl. No intakes yet have made any worthwhile peak HP gains however.

The bypass valve is useless, don't use it. Unless you're driving through a foot of water (which if you do, you're a complete fool), you shouldn't suffer from hydrolock. However, there is one 'round' hole on the inside of the fender that you need to plug with a piece of rubber or some clear tape.

Seems pretty cool, certainly better than stock. Nice growl, I'll miss it when I go turbo.

If you miss your AEM intake when you go turbo, there's something seriously wrong in your head.

True That!
The bypass valves suck! I've heard of the foam part being sucked into the motor on some of the older ones.
Not sure it they re-designed after that or not. IIRC they did...

couldn't be more wrong, i work on quite a few car with water damage by driving in light rain. all it take is right timing and right amount, it doesnt have to be a lake. i live in LA california and there's people hydrolocking there, go figure.
bypass value works great, go hit up google for a video. however the first gen aem value are know for snapping off, mine did

I've gotta be honest here, my car was slammed, and it was a daily driver. I've driven the car through some very severe rain storms over the years and have never ever had a problem. Even when driving through standing water on the side of the road.
If you have a cold air intake; like I specifically stated, there is one 'round' hole on the inside of the fender that you need to plug with a piece of rubber or some clear tape. If you plug this hole, there is no water runoff into where the filter sits. If you do not plug this hole, water will drip onto the filter. As for the bottom of the filter, there should be no water unless you are submerged in water (as long as you cut the fender-liner properly).

i agree...
but if u are going to go with the Bypass, i would just cut the intake about 8" above the filter and install the bypass there... the further away from the engine the better since it will draw less hot air...

Yes even a small amt of water can cause damage. It does not have to be a lake... But for the AEM bypass to work (open), IT DOES have to be a lake... You have to have enough resistance from the filer/pipe being filled with water for the baypass to open. So it has to be pretty much completely submerged in water. Go ahead and play with an intake with the bypass and a shop vac. You can pull in all kinds of water with the valve installed!
