Default Ordered Injen Intake...Do I need a bypass valve???

Hey guys I have been talking to several different people about intakes. I have some people telling me that I need to put a bypass valve in, while others say don't worry about it. The Injen intake is one solid stainless steal pipe; in order to put in the bypass valve in I would need to cut the pipe and put it somewhere in the middle. Do you think I really need to put in a bypass valve or should I just install the intake as is and no worry about it?

I do not have one but I live in San Diego.

I hear that you actually need to submerge it to get hydro-lock.

It still comes down to this----

YOU DECIDE!

It is a CAI, so I just wanted to get opinions from different people the have one already installed to find out whether I really need to cut the pipe to install the bypass valve, or should just not worry about it.
