I live in Portland Oregon where it rains every day of the year and have been running my CAI non stop for the past two years with no bypass.

I am also smart enough not to submerge my entire front end into the river.

Yeah i really want to get one, just as everyone does for their first mod, well i live it can rain and be sunny all in the same minute, and it makes for lots of puddles and crap like that...So I dont know if my worries are with or without reason, but i am paranoid about waterlocking and/or just getting water in my engine. So yeah i guess should i worry?
damn dawg this again for real dammit search please. we just went thru this already. there are countless threads on this same topic in this forum. i'll even make it easier search for CAI or BYPASS and u'll see a few long ass threads we just did about them

So those plots don't tell anything.b

Either way the Hp line falls off at 5200 which is where it mets its peak potential

5222 if you want to be exact...its the magic number.

Yeah I use the tornado system to get mass air flow after that point...between that and the electronic supercharger I should be in the mad power range y0!

Well, I felt NO difference with my intake but yet I still have it. I doubt the original AEM intake gives my accord more than 3whp.

Until you show me a dyno of a ACCORD not a civic, or pay for my dyno than I will still think what I think.

the only engine bolt on i have is an aem cai with bypass valve... with this one part i'm able to get the jump on other stock accords running short ram, oem and even the comptech...

even taking skill into account... some of these guys have been racing way before me...

import tuners may 2003 issue did an intake test on an rsx... yes i know it's an rsx and not an accord... and the aem cai added +20.7 hp and +5.3lb-ft... page 86 if you're interested... the aem short ram... +5.4 hp and +4.9lb-ft
