Default Just got a new CAI, now what?

I have a 92 Accord and my Brother just got me a new CAI for my bday. I live in Vegas- Flood country. What now? Is it safe to drive in the rain? Do I need to buy something else to protect my car/engine? As a female I dont want to get stranded with no Ride. Thanks.

I'd look for a bypass valve for that CAI.

more than likely it will fit.
You might just have to cut the piping to fit the bypass valve in between.

yea providing that the piping diameter is the same as the bypass valve. hardest part is cutting the pipe...just make sure to do a real good job getting any metal flakes out of the CAI tube before you go turning on your engine. AEM makes a couple different size bypass valves, so size shouldnt be a problem.
