I just bought a 97 ex and the previous owner put an injen cold air intake on it. It is the extended one that puts the filter down in the bumper. The problem is that there is an odd looking piece that joins the top tube to the bottom. It is some sort of disc with rubber flaps in it that let more are in at high rpms. It is surrounded by a foam filter to try to clean that air I guess. I've looked online and I can't find any info about this piece. The one I have is broken and the foam is torn. Any ideas where I can get a replacement? If not, should I try to eliminate this? Thanks for any help.

 

sounds like you mean a bypass valve. does it look like this?


ebay may have some.

 

you could get one thru anyone place that sells AEM stuff...........or just not use it.......but be careful u dont drive thru 2 FT puddles lol. (hydrolock is no bueno)

 

ntxmotorsports, thats exactly what it looks like. It's hard to find something when you don't know what it is called. Thank you both for the help.

 

YES if you dont want hydrolock when you drivfe through puddles you need that part
