Hey guys,

i just orderd an injen cai ... i believe its RD1992 X-1015

i have an 04 automatic coupe.

i heard alot of suff about hydrolocking and i researched all the threads


bottom line i like injen and i got a good deal.



i want to prevent hydrolocking

injen makes a product called "HYDROSHIELD" which prevents water from entering the filter.......... should i buy this or a bypass valve?

if bypass valve what kind and where can i get one?

 

also

will this cai hurt my fuel economy

 

dude ive had a injen CAI for over a year now and i live in toronto canada and i drive the car in the winter ive never had a single issue with hydrolocking.

 

get the hydroshield, or the water by-pass valve (via AEMpower.com; something like that). only if you're super scared, and drive through puddles and the lakes.

 

lol thanks guy but wich onehydroshield or a bypass valve?


will the aem bypass valve fit my intake?


i dont wanna get both wich ones better?

 

The hydroshield won't work if the filter is submerged...if you want to be really safe you can make a short ram intake out of your injen, or install a bypass valve along with yuor hydroshield

 

yea you can set yours up short ram like mine, or you can buy one of these bad boys

new dilema guys for my injen

Should i make it short ram like trypla8

or should i leave it long to my wheel well and add a aem bypass valve

 

Yes it will, because ur gonna floor it everytime u get a chance to hear the sound.

 

Injen intake is the bomb no doubt about it...

 

i've had mine for 3 years and no problems whatsoever with the aem bypass. i recommend it.

 

i installed mine but i left that little rubber cylender out

where does its go

aslo what bypass valve exactly should i get


is this good

if it rains a lot where you're from and there's lots of puddles, then yes do it like truplay and make it a short ram

 

That thing looks like a cheap copy of the AEM.

It looks to me like your intake would just try and suck all the air in thru that valve....

I ran my Injen for about 1 1/2 yrs and never had any problems....but I never drove thru any deep puddles or shallow lakes either.....

 

How Wide In The Injen Intake

....3"?

Will The Aem Fit Cuz Its 2.75"
