bypass on Injen CAI
yes I did a search but none were clear about what bypass they used on the Injen Race Division CAI. Will the AEM bypass valve fit on my CAI if I get the correct piping size? I get my CAI today but I think I should just wait for the bypass before I install it. Would it be a pain to install the CAI now and add on the bypass in like a week or 2 when I get it or should I just wait and do it all at once? Also, has anyone actually encountered hydro-lock because of their CAI, what are the chances of it happening? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 I e-mailed Injen and they said the bypass would fit if it was 2.5 inches, but they didn't say whether you had to cut into the intake to add it. I don't have a bypass, just the intake and I'm guessing you could just put it between the 2 pipes [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
I dunno I might just get that splashguard thing until someone knows. Without the bypass just how risky is it to drive in the rain??? What about into a car wash ( with or without an undercarriage cleaner). Hopefully someone has already added the bypass on their CAI, I just installed mine today

Rep Power: 0 I have an AEM CAI without the bypass and have had no problems driving through carwashes even if they spray under. Not sure on this but I think the only way you'll suck up water is if your filter is completly submerged water. I'm planning to just go easy on the throttle when it rains.
