i was wondering is anybody running airbypass vavles on there cold intakes or some kind of device to stop water from being sucked in . during the rain season where i live my car lags and wants to stall due to the water

 

I do not, I know for a fact that there are several people on here that do. The AEM one seems to be the most popular

 

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

You're not thinking of this right.

The air bypass valve on the AEM CAI is to prevent water from being physically sucked into your motor and hydrolocking it.

Your car does not lag and stall due to water. If water got into your engine, it would stop working. Your filter might be getting wet/dirty and restricting airflow. That might be it. But you are not getting water into your motor, I promise. You'd know...

 

Mine is kinda doggish in high humidity but that bypass would do nothing for that.

The bypass is for what blacksheep said.

 

^^+1 Mine does the same, car seems to be sensitive to humidity. I put an AEM dry filter on with a Injen hydro wrap recently to keep water off and it seems to help on damp days. The dry filter is made out of nylon, looks like all the rest but doesn't require oil recharge, and because its nylon it has better water resistance in comparison to cotton filters.

 

The aem filter will be my next. Yeah the bypass thing is when your filter goes underwarter and the engine starts taking in the air from the bypassvalve because of the weight of the water.
