cold air intake issue Options

[pnoywitmustrdsau...]

Just a just question! what are the chances of your celica getting waterlocked in the rain? i think the only way possible to get waterlock is if you drive through a 2 feet puddle right? its a quick question and that would really help me in wondering if a should get a bypass valve too thanks!

i had one on my custom cai system and i only used it once. It happened to be on the frist day i actually put it in, but it saved me having to rebuild.

the flooded area was a freeway underpass and the water was pertty deep. When i went through it, i did so slowly, i could hear the water being sucked a lil which scared me a lot but i could also hear a diffrence in air intake noise which signaled that the air was now being sucked through the bypass valves gills. After getting to the Dennys i opened my hood and noted that the pipe from the filter to the bypass valve was all condensated and cold however the pipe from the bypass to the TB was all clean.
