aem bypass valve question

Is the bypass valve necessary for normal driving in rain, or if car goes thru car wash? Or is it more if you decide to cross a river in your TLS?

Thanks

The AEM valve does not work unless it is 100% of the Cone fiiter is under the water and that means you are crossing a river

So by if the filter gets a little wet because of rain, car wash, or whatever, then there is no need too be concerned?

I have driven in down poor(sp) rain storms.., flooded streets ( just drive slow), hit water pudlles (drive slow), over the snow and sluch, and through the Laser Wash 4000.

I checked the Injen tube and it was wet, up to battery level... No problem what so ever....

However, I an not responsible if your engine Hydrolocked. I am just revealing my experience.
