anyone have 1 and like it?
it rains here a lot and i would like to put 1 on the speed3’s intake, but its an AEM(made by aem for mazdaspeed) and idk if any would fit.
injen’s site sucks and doesnt give like a customer service or an email address worth sending too(prolly wont hear from them for 8 years or something and it says questions regarding FAQ arent even looked at?)
let me know. thanks
are you worried about sucking up water? AEM makes that bybass valve for that reason. I think there like $35?
I don’t like them.
When I had my cai on I just made a half assed shield out of some sheet aluminum and a length of aluminum 1/2" x 1/8".
I didn’t like the material of the pre-filter, it felt pretty constrictive.
And for the winter I covered the weel well vents with some black duct tape, to quiet it down a little too.

you mean a foam couple between the two hard pipes? sound like it would just pull air in from there(same place as stock location) rather than down where the cooler air is

Im sure you have seen this but that is what im talking about. It basically just is a foam coupler. Not sure if it would suck in air through there on a regular basis or only when water is present.
Q: Can I use an Air Bypass Valve on a forced induction engine? A: Do NOT use an Air Bypass Valve on engines equipped with forced induction (turbo or superchargers). The increased flow demands created by the forced induction could damage the valve and lead to engine damage.
Q: Will the Air Bypass Valve cause a loss of power? A: The Air Bypass Valve may cause a slight loss in power due to the interrupted wall section created by the internal shape of the valve. We have found that power loss is minimal or negligible (depending on the application) in our dyno testing. The bypass valve offers great security against hydro locking the engine in rainy conditions. If maximum power is the requirement, we suggest that you use the Air Bypass Valve in the rainy season and replace the Air Bypass Valve with a coupler hose in the summer or when racing to make a smooth section along the inlet where the Air Bypass Valve normally installs.
^^^ Word. I didn’t really read much up on it. I was going to buy one when i wasn`t fi. My bad
its cool man. dont apologize. :ohyeah:
Just don’t try to ford any rivers and you’re fine with a CAI.
Are you talking about these?

thats it.
i talked to AEM and Injen the AEM filter on my car is 9X6 and the largest intake protection injen makes for is 8X5…my only choices are no protection or new filter and new protection :wtf:
If you are not a complete and utter fucktard you will not need a sock. Also if you submerge the sock what do you think will happen, yup thats right kids, it sucks up water…
You mentioned fearing rain… What are you worried about? If you’re worried about hydrolocking your motor, don’t. Unless you’re going to at least partially submerge the filter that won’t happen. If you do partially submerge the filter, that sock won’t do you dick for good.
If you’re worried about getting moisture on your MAF, well, I doubt that that sock really works anyways. .005" filtration isn’t much, and they claim that they treat it with a hydrophobic something-or-other. Want to know what else is hydrophobic? The oil that you already treated the filter with. :tup:

I think they mean if you were to put the bypass foam piece in the intercooler piping portion; pre-turbo would be perfectly fine.
