Default APR Cold Air Intake Question

I'm looking into getting an APR cold air intake. I've been reading around and some people are saying that if you install a cold air intake you should install some sort of bypass valve to keep moisture from getting into the intake. They say you need to worry about that if your climate gets a lot of snow or rain. Well I live in St. Louis, MO and we can get a lot of snow and rain sometimes. What do you guys think? Does anyone have the APR cold air intake? If so have you had any problems with moisture? Thanks

First, you don't need to worry about moisture, chances of it sucking up anywhere near enough to make a difference are incredibly minimal. Second, are you talking about the Carbonio intake? if so the general consensus is that it does not do much other than look nice, so if you are thinking of buying it for performance gains, save your money.

I agree with naiku. Save your money dougo1807 and get Stage 1 for true performance gains, assuming of course you don't have it already.
