I read about that valve. I also read about K&N making a "sock" that goes over the filter. We dont flood here so I guess I dont have to worry. Thanks guys. Now let the advice for my ride begin.

is that true freerider, i trust you but wonder what the neon god has to say. Also i thought that the performance is just eliminated in the rain.

ORIGINAL: Freerider

The Bypass valve eliminates all performance that you'd gain from the intake.

FYI
actually it doesnt. The valve doesnt even open unless a vacuum is created from the filter of the CAI to begin with. Only way for that vacuum to occur is when it is completely submerged in water and thats when the 12 flaps in the valve open up allowing the air to be sucked in instead of the water from the filter. So without that vacuum it acts as if it isnt even there allowing your CAI to perform the way it always does

yes thats when your cai is worthless because the air isnt passing through the intake anymore, its like its going straight from the engineto your throttle body. who seriously needs their CAI in the rain to begin with? lol i say its a great investment only if you dont wanna hydrolock yer engine and be in the hole 4 grand
