Bouve, yeah thats true that you should have one on a AEM CAI. But the injen version isn't a true CAI. The filter is not located behind the front fog light. It is still in the engine bay just in a different location. The Injen is more of a Ram Air intake than a Cold Air intake.

QUOTE (Bouve124)
I have the AEM CAI and I have had my car stall due to hard rain. I do a lot of driving on busy highway's and when its pouring to the point of not being able to see and big semi trucks are kicking water up at you its enough to mess things up. I was lucky and there was no damage to my motor but the next day I purchased AEM's bypass valve. Its really easy to install, just cut about 1.5" of pipe out (the valve comes with a cutting diagram so you can't mess this up) and replace with valve! I experienced no power loss or anything like that so I would do it just to be safe....
I doubt that you would ever suck in enough water to do any harm to your engine as the engine would stall before the water got all the way up your intake. The filter would just get blocked due to the element being soaked by water.

Hey SoCal-Shark
All your questions depends of a lot of facts.... more of them "safety facts"
When I installe my CAI... I never though that my intake will suck water from a hole in the street that was hidden... In that day, it was rainning a lot!!!
It's better safe than sorry...
Don't get paranoid about this.... just be carefull wink.gif wink.gif
