(AEM) CAI pics

[TegSox]

The filter ends up behind your passenger side corner lens. It's fairly well protected behind there. I had that AEM on my car for 3 years, from April 2001 to April 2004, no bypass valve....I never hydrolocked. We get plenty of rain in New Hampshire, snow and slush too.
I think AEM manufactured the bypass valve to give paranoid buyers, people who wouldn't consider buying their CAI in the first place for fear of hydrolock, a way to buy one and ease their fears and to sell more CAI's because I'm sure the profit margin on those are astronomical. I personally feel the risk of hydrolock on G3's with CAI's are overblown, my personal 3 year experience with one as my basis for that opinion.
I wouldn't call hydrolocking a problem, it's more like an event. Running out of gas on the highway is a problem, hydrolocking is an event....an expensive, engine killing, month wrecking event. :lol:

It looks real good man...its different but good looking and matching! Is that a Type R strut bar?? I want a front strut and rear loe tie but the strut would be easier..is it hard to install?

since the car is an ITR its indeed a ITR stock strutbar only got a repaint and ordered the original sticker again at my local honda dealer :d its an easy install and bolt on fit
