So I'm looking at getting a cold air intake that has 2.75" piping and a K&N filter. I was wondering if I put a water bypass valve on it, will it actually work? Do these filters actually help?
Now the speculation behind the bypass is the intake system has to be fully submerged for it to work efficiently. Get your aftermarket straw and hold it sideways nearly touching the top of the water and suck real hard. You will notice water gets to your mouth, and so your engine. Nothing more than a pressure differential.
Bypass valves are very expensive parts for people that don't understand principles of pressure and vacuum. Don't waste your money on it, but stay out of deep puddles.
