AEM Air Bypass Valve Intakes/Filters

Strength:

Not having to worry about hydro-lock anymore.

Weakness:

Having to cut the tube to install.
Little lost in power.
The rubber piece is said to be coming off in some models and is being sucked up into the engine.

The good totally out weighs the bad. AEM is voluntary fixing the problem with the rubber. By sending out clips for free.

Strength:

Great fit and finish one would expect from AEM. Looks cool on the car. Thankfully, I haven't had to test it yet.

Weakness:

It is said that the bypass valve could decrease overall performance of the intake....I haven't noticed.

Gives some added peace of mind...you don't really have to worry about hydrolocking your engine. Installation was no joke...cutting a 200 dollar intake in half is a little scary.
