"Product gives me a little bit more confidence when driving in the rain. Very easy to install I used a hack saw to cut my cold air intake then added the bypass valve with ease! I did notice that my intake is'nt as loud as it was without but I didnt feel any power loss."

"Auto Anything had a good price especially with no shipping. Took about 4 days from Canada to NY. The Bypass is a simple install. But you do have to cut your Cold air intake. I have a Fujita 2.75 CAI. It fits fine. Just get the right size and cut the tube (use the paper template AEM provides- for the width the bypass will take in the CAI). Clean out the shavings, attach everything, mount everything back. Done. I have not tested the bypass and God willing never will have to. But it provides a little more confidence in rainy weather. Does it affect the driving? Yes. Mostly psychological; confidence in rain and possibility of warmer air seeping in for less hp. (when driving it should not open until the filter is submerged in water). Be safe people use jack stands or ramps when taking the filter off. Don't cut the CAI while still attached to the engine (shavings will get into the engine, you need to clean the pipe out). The bypass itself seems sturdy, but I read reviews saying they don't last long. (I just put it in). I suppose it has to do with placement of the bypass and forces acting on it. I suggest not putting it at a bend or close to one, so it can be flush with the CAI pipe. I hope this is helpful."

"The bypass valve is key to saving your engine from water damage. The only problem is it breaks every year from vibrations and normal wear and tear but other than that it does its job keeping water out of my engine."

"By relocating your air filter under your front bumper, you put your engine at risk. This is really cheap insurance agaist water getting into your engine. But, this thing is thin and cheaply made. It's a good thing it installs easliy because it will last you about a year before the engine heat and vibration rip it in half and you gt to put on a new one, just like I get to do every year. Don't bother with the instructions, I think they are in Chinese. Just look at one in a photo, cut your pipe and put it on. If you can tie your shoes, you can install this."

"I wish they had told me about this when I bought the intake. I incurred additional expense by having to pay the mechanic to do the work twice. Otherwise I'm very happy with the increased performance of the intake and exhaust."

"I had to look online to find what the bypass valve looked like after instillation. It was easy to install but I didn't use the instructions that much in the installation."

"I got my bypass valve and installed it very easy. I only wish they would make the pipe out of the same material as the intake. My old one cracked throwing the idle off because it was before the mass air flow sensor, thus allowing more air to come in, usually not a bad thing, but threw the idle off. Everthing else is good, just use metal instead of plastic."
