Just thought I would let everyone know my experience, The other day i pulled out on to a major highway and floored it to get to speed. However unlike usual i went nowhere the engine bogged and wouldnt go over 2500 RPM. So i pulled over to check it out, and there it was the AEM bypass valve broke in half andthe piece of rubber from the middle was getting sucked into the MAF. tried fixing it with JB weld didnt work so now im ****ed just because this thing is so cheap. They could have made it out of metal or something **** i payed $50 for it. Ok just had to get that out..anyone else had this happen to them

You do know that AEM voluntarily recalled most of the early bypass valves for that very reason.

Give em a call.
