intake and auto trans question
What cold air intakes are available for a 2002 dx coupe automatic that also offer a bypass valve (seperate of course). Just curious any help would be greatly appreciated.

you can modify any intake to fit a bypass. as for automatics, your only option for a CAI would be Injen. i don't remember if the k&n cai will fit autos. DO A SEARCH

Rep Power: 0 AEM does make intakes for the auto.. and why get a bypass if u have an sri? U can mod almost ne cold air so it can accept a bypass.. as long as it doesnt have too many bends like on the celica ones.

Rep Power: 0 nope I got a DX with auto 
hey i didnt have a choice...the dealer was selling this car for significantly cheaper than the one I wanted and I only had enough for this. Plus Manual in traffic (which there is alot of in NJ/NY) sucks. I guess it's cool because I know theres lot's of work I can do on the car like upgrading the trans (torque converters, shiftronic, levelten.com) and other stuff....but i really just wanted to know if anybody else made an intake for an automatic with an available bypass valve. Something about water scares me. And it rains/snows/ etc. alot here in NJ. thanks for the replies

Injen > Stupid Bypass Valve
To flood an Injen you would
1. Have to be dumb enough to drive in water up to your headlight
2. Be even stupider to try and power through it
3. Be in there long enough for the bumper cavity to fill.
If you are stupid enough to do those 3 things at the same time, then get a bypass valve. If not (which I certainly hope you aren't), then you really don't need it. If it scares you that much, then get a K&N FIPK.

The water was not even halfway up the wheel. I went at extreme low rpms to be precautious. I was not at a stop.
Guess what happened.

Ok.. lets think about what I said, then what you said....
I said up to the headlight in water... you had water half way up the wheel well... go look at the car, find the bottom of the headlight in relation to the wheel well. If you get generous, its the top 1/3 of the wheel well... now, the filter must sit below the headlight and it's a 5" cone. remove 5" from the bottom of the headlight, you're now down below the centerline of the wheel well. Stock headlights are give or take...22" off the road. Drop about 2" to get to the bottom of the housing, drop 6 more to get below the filter (give it 1" between light and filter top), you're left with 14" off the ground. What the hell were you doing driving through water that deep? By that point, you've turned your car into a boat... the front bumper plowing water out of the way, out the sides and over top, through the grill. So chances are, if you didn't hydrolock it, running cold water over a hot radiator, exhaust manifold and engine block would have screwed you over in some way or another (cracking, warping, etc...). Hot and cold don't exactly mix in the most beneficial ways for metal.
