CAI BYPASS? {Help please}

I want to get aa Injen Cold Air Intake and add a bypass but i have one question.

How much will the bypass help when in a flood zone? My area sometimes has highways with high rising water which I currently drive thru perfectly fine with a stock intake. Im concerned if I install a CAI going thru this will cause major damage.

Any feedback?

you have to partially or fully submerge the filter to hydrolock as it was explained to me. If it's unavoidable that you drive through deep water I'd avoid a CAI... Those relief valves are crap as I understand it.

You may want to configure the Injen in SRI mode. This will take care of any possibility of hydro-lock.
