Anyone use a bypass valve on their cold air intake?
 
Anyone use a bypass valve on their cold air intake? cuz im thinking of getting a cai + velocity stack but im worried about sucking in water.


just wondering what your opinion is on it. you guys run a cai on the winter?
anyone notice any loses in power when using the bypass valve? cuz im too lazy to take off my bumper a few times every year to swap out the cai for a short ram when the rain is here + it pretty much rains all year here.

:D

i really dont think water can travel that far up the intake pipe for it to harm anything... if you keep your filter cleaned and oiled, you shouldnt have a problem... and even if a little bit of water gets sucked in, think of it as a meth injection system ;)

Get it.

if you're worried jst get it, but that's quite a bit of water to get up that high, you'd have to get splashed quite hard to get the water up that high.

get it 100% unless you want a cracked engine block. splashs wont do it its if you drive threw a flooded area mostly

Second that. My gf's car almost hydrolocked this year, and the filter was clean and oiled... it doesnt make a diff. If you're going into a deep puddle... a clean oiled filter isnt going to do shit to prevent water from going into your pipe. Look into a hydro shield by injen if you dont want to cut your pipes for the bypass valve.

I ran a cold air intake for years and never had a problem.
You need to drive through a flooded area enough and have your entire filter submerged in water to get hydrolocked. I don't think you would want to drive through something like that anyways.
Bypass valve is a waste of money.
But if it makes you feel better, then get it.
