I already have install my intake a while back, so all i have to do is take the rubber off and put the bypass valve? Not sure if i have to take it apart.

the length of the tube is longer then 2 or three inches, but the diameter is 3 inches.

and you dont need a bypass valve... waist of money. the only way you will hydrolock your engine is if you completly submerge the intake filter in water with the car running, basically drive it in a pond and get stuck or fill it with a water hose.

thx for the info. What happen when it rains and some water got suck in? The intake is very low under the car, so i scared if accidentally I went over a hole on the road and splash water.

It happened to me with the injen CAI. I drove through a flooded street and basically the CAI had a nice big drink and my car died. I was glad I didnt hydrolock the engine though. At the time it was towed to a shop where they sucked out the water from the cylinders and drained the oil and what not, got it running, then a week later the TPS sensor went. But if you do happen to suck in water, you have a 50-50 chance of hydrolocking it. Basically what happens is since you cant compress water, the rods in the cylinders will give and bend causing your engine to lock up. then you will either need a new engine or have it rebuilt. Best bet would be to drive carefully. But like injen said, it has to be submerged in water.

Streetglower:
Do you have a bypassvavle for your car? Not sure, but if you had a bypassvalve going though that flooded street, would it drain all the water. My car is mostly use for going to school, which is not far away. What happen if rain drop or splash of water get suck in , what would happen to the engine? I want to be safe, rather then getting my engine messup.I try my best to drive careful.

No I never had one. I really dont know if they work or not, but I have seen them do a demenstration on a acura NSX where it had a bypass valve and they submerged the filter in water and ran the car and the car never died.

Now like I said, your filter has to be submerged in water for anything to happen. Other then that, driving through a small puddle is ok.

I personally dont own a bypass valve since IMO its a waist of money.

i just got a bodykit and the front is the r34 and so the intake is open to rain, when its raining.

A splash will not do anything. You need to dunk the whole filter in water. Suction must be created where the engine is drawing water only. If you're stupid enough to get in 18" of water, you deserve to hydrolock your car. Not to mention you'd have to back flood the bumper cavity, which wouldn't occur instantly. So you'd have some time to realize how stupid you were before you suck water in. There's a video on the net somewhere of some guy just spraying a hose at an intake as someone is revving the engine, water splash does nothing.

bypass is not a waist of money, it could save u thousands of dollars.
My dad drove through this " http://www.pulse24.com/News/Top_Stor...9-003/page.asp " yesterday with my car and amazingly nothing happened to the engin thanks to the bypass. If u get a CAI, U NEED A BYPASS imo.
