Why wouldn't they make the intake with a bi-pass valve. Getting water into my engine, or prevention there of, would be one of my main deciding factor concerning which CAI to buy.

Either way... I dont think you have to worry about getting water in your engine.
Youd have to drive through a flood for that to happen...
People have been running CAIs for years without the bypass valve without trouble.

CAI's are CAI's. They are all basically the same.
If you are worried about having the "bypass valve" without having to cut the pipe yourself then consider the Xephyr, it comes already installed for less than the AEM, $200 shipped to your door.
But your choice, I am sure the AEM works just as well, same K&N cone filter, diameter of tubing and everything...
But to each his own...

Changing the engine after hydro-locking on a civic will cost you a couple of hundred. On CL-S, it will cost a couple of thousand. And NO, the warranty will not cover this kind of damage.!!!!!

And yes, hydrolocking the engine will cost some major $$$ if it happens to occur, and without the bypass valve, I know warranty will not cover, if it is there is will be a little harder for them not to cover, the will have to prove that the bypass valve failed. This is hard to do, b/c they work very well and are tested extremely well.

As for the power, it is definitely there. Greater sound and noticeable power increase from 3800 rpm on, when VTEC kicks in ever greater sound and power.
I haven't dyno'd mine yet, but I think others are going too. I am expecting about a 7-10 hp gain at the wheels and about 12-15 hp at the fly.
Definitely worth it. You can read all about my install and experience so far at Xephyr's testimonial page on his site:
www.xephyrperformance.com
Keep those questions coming, if you have anymore! I will keep trying to answer them!

avengerjr,
There's a slight difference between the AEM and Xephyr's CAI. The difference is in the design of the velocity stack that's incorporated into the AEM filter, vs Xephyr's non-existing one. This may help improve air flow to the TB; however, I honestly don't think it would make a significant difference in performance between the 2 intakes.

Just got off the phone with Tim. He said that my order will be shipping out tomorrow. This guy is great. You guys can stop reading here, but I wanted to tell you about my experience with them. They are great. I had a problem with my credit card. I just changed my address online cuz I recently moved. So when I was paying for it online, the address didn't match up. I tried sending it a lot of times and it didn't go through. But for some crazy reason my credit card company still gave like five authorizations. That sent me over the limit, I usually use a low limit credit card to order online cause of fraud and stuff. But at any rate, Tim said he would ship out the intake anyway and just told me to wait until those transactions clear and then send him payment afterwards. His words was that he trusts me cuz I'm a member of the board. Membership does have it's privileges!

The CAI does not come with a bypass valve because that is an added option that you may choose to purchase seperately. It is much easier to manufacture a kit w/out the cut and have people add the bypass valve themselves later if they choose. I am definitely not going to utilize a bypass valve for mine because its not necessary where i live. I'm glad that there is no cut because it looks cleaner that way. If the purchaser would like a bypass valve they can order it and easily cut and install it themselves. FDAO is correct the aem kit consists of an exclusive K&N filter with a built in velocity stack which has been dyno tested to produce a couple of extra ponies. SNook would be a good choice to purchase from. He has been very accomodating with questions about pricing for me in the past and seems like a great guy. BTW you would really need to be in some pretty deep water to hydrolock the motor. my car is dropped pretty low and the filter still sits about 10 inches above the ground.

What about water splashes? I guess this is more common then driving in a pond of whater 10" high. After all, if the water is higher than the door level, no way I would drive in that condidtion.

Onto your point that it takes pretty deep water to hydorlock an engine. This is not entirely true. Even a foot of water, even in your case, with you filter around 10 inches above the ground, will hydrolock a car. And it doesn't take much or even one low-lying area at the bottom of a hill or anywhere to accumulate 1 ft of water. Now granted probably nothing will happen, but I would still rather not want to take my chances.
And to you point about the 1 piece making it look cleaner, I don't think that is the case, it may look more together, but the Xephyr bypass valve, looks clean and fits very well with the entire CAI. I don't think it looks bad or unclean at all.
Again, not disputing anything anybody has said, but in my personal experience and thoughts, well there they are.

Thats the great thing about all of this. Everyone is entitled to there own personal views and preferences. The Xephyr fulfills your needs and thats great and the AEM fulfills mine . We can't ask for anything more. At least now we have three CAI to choose from vs. zero last month, right?
Remember though it's not actually a "Xephyr bypass valve", its actually an "AEM bypass Valve" on a Xephyr CAI.

All you folks worried about hydrolocking an engine with the CAI, do not, do not, drive through water over the road unless you are absolutely sure of how deep it isn't. 10 inches of water is way too deep to be driving through, with or without a bypass valve.

it does look like the AEM will yeild a little bit higher hp. The design is straight through, less turbulent.
And why would, with all the time that AEM has been designing this thing, they make a CAI that destroy our engines? I'm thinking, if they thought the CAI needed the bypass valve, they would of put the damn thing on there in the first place. The bv is one of their products and would only bring in more $ for them if they did?
Don't know if all that made sense, but I'd like some answer to all these concerns before I buy a CAI. This indecision is p*$*#( me off.

You know what bypass stands for?....
Bring me Your Pennies And Spend them Sucka!
Do you guys have any idea how long AEM CAI's have been made? For the 4 people that have hydrolocked an engine driving through a flash flood AEM says,"hmmm.... we can manufacture a 14 cent piece and sell it for 40 bucks to prevent "hydrolocking".

I was under the impression that the K&A filter was water proof to begin with. They have been used on offroad trucks for years for that purpose. Spashes should not be a concern, and a guy with a jeep I know submerged his engine and it stalled when the air cut off but no water entered the engine.
The K&N cleaning kits include the reoiler that again was designed to trap dirt and keep water out. Just my 2cents, YMMV....

CRAZEDLUNI Need CAI for a 01' CL type S Acura 2/13/01 10:54:57 PM
(host) Auto Image Enhancement CRAZEDLUNI - Nothing for that car yet. Sorry. 2/15/01 7:52:44 PM
So the host of that group buy doesn't have access to order the AEM CAI's, or so it seems. I would suggest going through Tim anyway and giving him the business.

Hi All,
This is my first post so I want to introduce my self. My name is Raymond Lee and I'm a PowerSeller on eBAY. I currently sell lots of stuff including AEM. A few people have emailed me regarding the application from AEM so I always keep a keen interest on this model. My buddy also has a Type S too so he'll be getting it directly from me. I am in the process of finding out the exact details for this Cold Air intake.
Please let me know if you're interested.
Normally, the AEM Cold Air comes in three colors (Silver, Blue, Red), I spoke to AEM this morning that they told me that the Silver is on back ordered already and that the Blue and Red are available in limited supply.
I will find out more information and repost to this message..
FYI: The AEM Cold Air is the industry standard and makes the most power of any intakes. It’s dyno-tested to this fact. I have customers with Integra Type R who told me that it his AEM Cold Air make lots more power on the low end compared with his ICEMAN Cold Air.

Ray,
I'd be interested if the price with the bi-pass valve is no more than $220 shipped. If seperate then $170 shipped for the CAI would be reasonable. Do you have any Bi-pass valve left in your stock pile?

I was under the impression that the K&A filter was water proof to begin with. They have been used on offroad trucks for years for that purpose. Spashes should not be a concern, and a guy with a jeep I know submerged his engine and it stalled when the air cut off but no water entered the engine.
The K&N cleaning kits include the reoiler that again was designed to trap dirt and keep water out. Just my 2cents, YMMV....

I'm in on the group buy if possible. I think it would be cool if we buy from Tim. He has been one of the long-standing supporters here.

Here is Tim's response;
Hay Steve,
Yes the AEM CAI is now available for the CL-S in red and blue.
1. Why doesn't it have the bypass valve?
The intake, along with many other
AEM intakes, is a 1 piece. If you wanted to add the bi-pass valve you
would
have to cut the pipe
2. Isn't the K&N filter waterproof, why do you need a bypass valve?
No the filter in not water proof
The bi-pass is used, just incase you drive your car through a deep
puddle
and will prevent the intake from sucking in water. You will not suck up
water
through the intake by just driving in the rain. Part of the intake would
have to
be submerged.
3. What are the performance improvement spec's?
I believe it is 10 hp...
4. Can we get a group buy? No, sorry I don't do group buys
If you have any other questions, feel free to email me.
Best Regards,
Tim Piscitelli
