it's because the sound is being muffled by the foam in the bypass valve

First of all I live in florida During the summer it rains every afternoon around 3-4pm. I've seen some big ass floods around my town, like i drive through it and it gets caught in my wheel well and my car like loses control for a second. What the best way to take it off considering there is now 2 cut pieces. What do i use to connect them properly?

you could always just remove the lower piece and treat the top part like a short ram air intake.
