It's not safe without proper radiation gear.

well, make sure that if you do buy a bypass valve, you have a two piece intake because on a one-piece, the valve is useless cuz it'll be near the intake mani.

if you have a one-piece, cut the intake for the valve....
unfortunatley, us turboed people cant have one..but the water gets evaporated in the turbo anyway...

I have had my AEM cold air intake for 3 1/2 years now and also never had a problem. I even lived in Houston where it floods alot and still no problem. Maybe I have been lucky.
