Trust me, when your bogging caus of the water your motor is sucking up, your going to take that off right away.

Props for being creative tho.
that bypass valve only works if the filter is more than 3/4 submerged under water....doesn't really matter for little splashes....water still isn't good for the engine, but that bypass valve is useless in my eyes.....

it actually sounds pretty kool. it sounds deep but u cant really notice it like other intakes that sound like lions. but if u turn the radio down and listen u will here it. and when i turn the car off that whistling sound cant be herd as much as it used too..
