u can get AEM bypass valve for $30 something. search around on ebay and make sure you have the same size for your CAI piping.

it is not necessary to have AEM bypass valve. basically you are adding more restriction for your intake airflow.

if u have injen CAI style, water will never touch the filter even if your car is lowered.

if u have place racing style, water will never touch the filter even if your car is lowered because it is proteceted by dust panel.

so basically don't waste your money on it. u don't need it.
