no, they don't. If you're going to put on a bypass valve, just stick with a SRI.
Sorry to be an ass, but I had to say it.
LOFL
Dude you are a complete ASS...
I know what I am doing, trust me... this happened like 4 years ago, when I thought I would never see a deep puddle... Well I had to get home from work, and it was raining like hell, I hit a puddle, and it was too late... Besides my car is lowered and it was in PA... And I shut my motor off before I was fully submerged, so don't assume I drive around looking for monstrous puddles to drive through,
I NEVER thought I would have a problem, guess what? I did, and so can you, but if you want to attack me because I am trying to tell you FROM EXPERIENCE that it can happen, then fine, go ahead... When you hydrolock your motor, don't come crying to me, cause I told ya so...
I've driven in monsoon conditions too MANY, MANY times. Do you want a cookie? It just has to happen once, obviously you want to take that chance...
Go ahead, be ignorant, it can happen to you too...
As for the AEM bypass valve, I never had one, but I have seen videos of an NSX with a fully submerged filter and a bypass filter, and it does work, as seen in the video...
So, don't be an ass next time... Thanks
