has anyone installed the aem bypass valve on there cold air intake, if so how hard was it and whats the hardest part, did you notice any power loses

 

I just installed my AEM CAI with bypass valve 2 days ago and the bypass valve just fits right in there. I haven't tried the CAI without the bypass valve for comparison, but I'm pretty happy with the results. I was running a Comptech drop in filter before and the difference is HUGE.

 

ya i am going out on a trip so i havn't got to put it on yet, did you cute the pipe or just put the bypass valve where you conect the piping? i think i am going to put it on first without the bypass valve, then with the valve. how hard was it installing it?

 

general consensus it that the AEM bypass valve is a pile of garbage.

 

useless....loses power...'nuff said

 

I don't think it's useless.
The old by-pass-valves were useless and didn't work, but the new ones prevent water being sucked into the intake.

For only 50 bucks = peace of mind

 

well i've tryed to suck water with the aem cold air and bypass with the filter stilling in a bucket of water revving the engine in the upper range ,, really did fell any difference in power.
