All Bypass valves are are pieces of foam that let air flow through and not water. So as long as the diameters of the pipes and bypass valves match up, they should work fine for any vehicle

fyi, unless the intake filter itself is submerged, the bypass valve wont work.

I've had my CAI for 4 years with no bypass and no problems. I drive through flooded roads all the time. Common sense says don't drive through 2 feet of water. No big deal for me.

it is good to have i think import tuner or import racer or one of the mag did a write up on it and it did work .....they dunk air cold air from a nsx into a bucket of water and it showed that the valve worked.....i would get it think of it as some that in case it happens(u run into a 2 feet of water u are ok)
