Cold Air intake - 2/22/2007 10:03:12 PM    vtecHef   Posts: 187 Joined: 2/1/2007 Status: offline Ok so i put this in last spring and has ran fine where i live here in Ohio. The more and more i have been reading it seems like i might want to get a bypass valve just incase. Heres a picture of how it looks. Give me some input on what u think. Once again its ran fine all this time .. we seem to have pretty good drainage around here so maybe i dont need it. _____________________________ 99 Accord Lx 2.3 4 cyl V tec Post #: 1

The bypass valve will protect you know matter what from even a full submerging of your intake filter. It is worth the small amount because it will save you money should your engine expirience hydrolock. Cj _____________________________ 96 Accord Ex Coupe Just got it, starting the buildup!!!
