AEM AIR bypass cracked

Removing my AEM air bypass thingy and it cracked. The outer filter just ripped when I touched it, it was so dried out. Then the plastic skeleton that holds the inner filter in cracked off 2 of the connection points.
Question since that is not to high of a stress area what do you think about a little crazy glue to hold the bypass together?
thanks

just by another one. But those bypass valves are crap. You will still suck water in if you ever submerge your filter in water. They bypass valve wont stop it. Those are good for little bits of water.

The reason I say that is because some of my friends have used them and have still gotten water in there engine.

How would the valve affect the air flow inside the intake?
Too much?

I call AEM and the guy that I spoke to was very nice. They are shipping me out a brand new one and when I get it I just have to send them out the old one.
Not bad usually you have to ship them out first before they send you new product.
A+ for customer service.
