Question

[wkulestat]

I just put an AEM cold air intake on my car, and I am concerned about the filter getting wet where it is. Is this a problem I should worry about, or is there something I can do to make sure it doesn't get wet? Please let me know.

if you're that worried about it, get a by-pass valve kit from aem.

well i heard that a bypass valve doesn't really help unless your filter is completely submerged, and if that is so, I think I have more problems then just the filter being submerged.

just try and aviod big puddles.... its unlikely your car will lock up unless the filter is completely submerged in water and you are on the gas... otherwise your fine

ya you have to be going through a pretty deep puddle to submerge it all the way. the by pass valve makes you loose a little bit of power, but when the air starts getting restricted, the air starts getting taken in through the bypass valve. i dont think it needs to be completly submerge, i think is halfway. i havent had any problems wiht mine, and i have seen few people on here who have. i wouldnt worry about it.
