Does any one have the air bypass valve on their cai?

If so does it work?

 

no aem cai here, but the reason b/c is i still here about hydro-lockin' incidents with a bypass valve. i wouldn't trust aem, heard too many bad things. I would try (i'm bias) to do DIY icebox or a short ram.

 

according Sport Compact Car it works. They decided to test it out but none of the editors, writers, photographers, or contributers want to test their car. So they called the owner of AEM(i forget his name). They got him to test his car on it(NSX). They made a special clear cai so u could see where the water was reaching. They submerged the whole filter in a fish tank full off water. they had the car around half to a quater throttle and the water did not get to the engine. so like a car alarm i'm sure it prevents 100% but more of deterrent.

 

if you have power they will break , trust me on that

 

My brother has the AEM CAI with bypass.

you asked if it works....I have not purposely ran his car thru a puddle to find out.
His GSR just has I/H/E.

 

I have one...no problems as far as doing what they are supposed to do but yes it did break from force of engine movement but replaced for free by AEM

 

thats one thing they are good about replacingtheir products if any issues.
they replaced like 4-5 for me before i got sick of it and trashed it
