I'd do a comptech icebox if i was you or even a DIY Icebox. I've heard of too many hydrolocking stories and for your everyday driver i don't know if you really wanna get the CAI.

 

Alright thanx a bunch 4 the info. Also does anyone know what size bypass valve i should get 4 the pipe? Because none of the websites that i go 2 tell me waht size the cai pipe is.

 

Hey man, I live in Florida also and i have AEM cai on my prelude. No bypass valve and no problems. If you still have the splash shield under your car you'll be fine. I wouldn't bother with the extra money for the valve. I've driven through some big puddles, just avoid driving in lakes, rivers, etc. Heck, I survived Huricane Ivan!


Back in the day, the original AEM cai was two piece.

 

uhhh, i have a 2 piece AEM CAI, with no bypass. I just wanted to clear that up.

 

hush you :squint: if you want a CAI just get one, and dont drive through any water, simple as that. i had an AEM CAI onmy civic sans a bypass valve for 2 years in the New England weather and no hyrdolock. like someone said, as long as you have all the dust shields and everything you should be fine if you drive carefully in wet weather.

 

:werd: just have to be careful what you drive threw

 

go to your local shop, they should be able to build you one, i live in florida and had one built with the bypass valve for cheaper and i think it works better, in the end they use the same filter and valve so there isn't much difference in making one yourself or having a shop build you one than if you buy an aem, why risk hydrolock, in all reality you probably never will, but for something so expensive and small a detail why risk it, get the bypass valve
