hi guys....does anyone know where to get a bypass valve for the Injen CAI....? thx alot...

 

Check to see if the AEM valve can fit the you can buy from their site www.aempower.com. I had one on my PR CAI.then i took it off.Dont need that unless ur filter is going to submerged in water plus you'll notice the power loss after installation.

There is one for sale on the FS forum.

 

thx alot guys for the reply....still deciding....thx for the info

 

You don't need a bypass valve unless you are turbo/supercharged.

The Injen is only an intake and doesn't have the pressure of a turbo/supercharger... hence, no need for a bypass valve.

The engine in your car is always sucking air and if water is where the filter is, it will suck water up into your engine. The bypass valve gives the water somewhere to go in case you do happen to get water near the filter or drive through a big puddle. Boosted people as well as NA people could have a use for it.

 

no, that's not true. just because you're N/A, doesn't mean that you won't suck up water when the filter is completely submerged in water.

 

I got an AEM on mine, there was a power loss but as much as it rains in central Fl during the summer, there are some serious deep gatherings of water that sneek up on you. curse the thunderstorm

 

Are you really driving through water that is a foot deep?

 

not if i can help it. let's see, raining heavily(visibility reduced), plugged drain due to the great public works of florida, and the 2in an hour rainfall that is common in summer. hmm, puddles can have a habit of appearing. before i had the intake i hit some serious puddles. when the rainy season is ended it shall be removed, or at least till i figure out where all the low points are. The last thing i want is to ingest water.

 

There isnt a way to use the bypass valve with the injen stock. You would have to mod it for it to be possible.

 

Yep, part of the Injen would need to be cut to make room for the bypass valve. About 2" of pipe would need to be cut off to make room.
