So I installed the bypass valve like a week later. The reason I say I don't think it's necessary is because unless you want to be an ass like me and drive through that much water 
, there is no way that you will suck water in through your intake. Of course it may get wet but you will have condesation in your engine anyway. The bypass valve is only going to be useful if you plan on submerging the intake underwater. As for hp loss...I don't think there is enough gain from a CAI to feel a loss by installing a bypass valve. If you are doing it for peace of mind...I understand. That was the same reason I did it. Since then, I got rid of my AEM and installed an Injen. I like it 10x better. Just because of the fitment and the mounting of it. It doesn't give any more hp or anything. I like it better just for asthetic reasons.

I have the aem cai on my 00 civic si but there is really no vents in the corners of this car's bumper (the vent is more towards the middle). Florida gets pretty rainy during the summer....but no flooding around where I live.
AEMs patented Air Bypass Valve virtually eliminates the chance of hydro-lock in the event you submerge the filter of your AEM Cold Air induction system in water. On most systems, the valve installs along the upper portion of the inlet pipe and shuts down induction at the filter when it becomes submerged, rerouting air through its external diaphragm to keep water out and air flowing in. Patent #6,394,128.
