Also, the bypass obstructs the flow of air so you lose little horsepower of the little horsepower you were to gain.
I'd spend $50 on an eBay CAI and paint it whatever color I wish.
Not really... I actually resent that cause I wasn't careless at all. It was POORING rain and I hit a HUGE puddle cause the drainage here sucks and the streets weren't lit up. Hit it at 30 mph and the motor stopped dead....
If I'd have had the bypass, I wouldn't have blown it.
Up to you man. If you want to run CAI, figure out what your price is for piece of mind.
