Had my intake off for too long... I need some cold air again, but without the risk of hydrolock!

So I'm asking this - to the people that have put an air bypass valve on your Injen Intake, where did you put it along the pipe? I heard the further from the filter it is the less risk of hydrolocking. If you have pictures of your setup, that'd help a lot too.

Thanks

i am wondering this as well. I just got an Injen CAI for christmas and installed it over the weekend. Right now it doesn't rain a lot because it's winter, but here in Florida it always rains so i want to be safe. I would rather cut the silicone pipe rather than the aluminum one, in case i mess up and have to replace, i'm guessing the silicone one is less expensive, and that way water won't get to the MAF sensor if it gets in.

you could always convert it to the short ram air set-up, it sounds better too

I have a feeling that the short ram would sacrice more of the measely 6 hp gain than the bypass valve would. I'd rather add on an air bypass valve to be honest.

the two wont work together, the injen is a much larger pipe diameter than the aem. i know the aem is 2.75 injen is like 3.5". dont worry about the rain i live in florida and have had mine on almost a yeat. what you need to watch for is the puddles. the injen will not hydro lock unless you submerge it.
