Anybody here has or know this ebay Accord CAI http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8052952833&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fmotors.search.ebay.com%3A80%2F%3Ff rom%3DR40%26satitle%3D8052952833%26fvi%3D1 ? It has a bypass valve but doesn't seem to function as a hydrolock prevention. By the description, it works more like an SRI along the CAI track. Is it legit or just another piece of crap?

that is bull****, the bypass prevents water from getting in there by adding air mid pipe so less water is being sucked in through the main filter. i have an AEM bypass on my CAI and thats exactly what it does... or at least how i came to understand it. it acts as a secondary suction point for the car's "vaccum" when taking in air.
