i am installing my cold air intake, and i have no idea what the water bypass hose is, or where the hell it is!!..the directions say i need to take it out and put the supplied one in, but i dont know why? can someone help me out here?

also, my breather tube is a bent in every direction...could cramp up....know what to do here?

 

if you can't put a CAI in and don't know what a bypass is don't hook up your car.........do you even have a bypass? Is your intake AEM? more info please.

 

yah its definitely AEM...everything is all set to go, except that i have an extra hose that the directions say attaches on the lower portion of the throttle body...theres no where to put it on the intake, so i dont even know why i should bother......(if there is already a hose there, why not leave it the f*%$ where it is)

p.s.--im not talking about an AEM bypass valve

 

oh hes talking about the little hose.
you should get a bypass valve. it would come in handy when you go through water.

 

im sure i will soon...but i just got this and i wanted to hook it up ASAP...

is this little hose a problem or something?...

 

the hose should go from the intake to the engine near vavle cover.....your OEM intake box should of had a hose that did same just replace with one that came with CAI.

 

this what you talkin bout?

 

only had one hose...the breather hose (already hooked that up)...but there is still this second hose that i dont know what to do with

 

that could be the one...i only see one aftermarket hose in there right?

if i cant figure it out, then ill just drive it around and if something blows up....time for a swap

 

the hose runs from the throttle body (or the fast idle thermal valve to either the intake manifold or the water outlet neck...why would i need to take one hose out to put the exact same hose back in? am i making any sense?
