if your putting it on the bottom part of the pipe, wouldnt that defeat the purpose? you defintately want it in the engine bay, so there is no way it'll get wet

It says to put on the pipe running sideways out of the throttle body, but damn it's ugly. Anyone try to put it on the pipe running down under the car.
What's the difference as long as the bypass isn't submerged?

Have you seen the Sport Compact car article (april '01)on the AEM bypass valve? They said with the valve installed, the most they got the water up was about 18 inches, and the valve wouldn't let it go anymore than that...the cone filter was submerged in a tank of water, it was very highly recommended by SCC.

Its not that the bypass valve is hard to get on... ok it is hard and I broke part of it getting it on
... but its that it doesn't fit in the holes that allow it to go down into the fender.
oldirtyxu, you had to cut your pipe to get it to worl?
