Injen costs alot because of the way the metal is made. And because its in competition with 500 other companies to make CAI.

Also, on the filter part, go to Adv. Auto Parts and just get a filter that fits.

Telling ya from experience, dont even worry about a BPV. You wont have to worry about hydrolocking..

The BPV Is a "switch" I believe, when the bottom end fails to work, the intake converts to a short ram at the location of the BPV, not sure if thats right though.

yup, ita a diaphram that stays closed until little or no air starts comming through the filter, then the engines vac. pulls the bypass open.

also, you shouldn't tell people that they don't have to worry about hydrolocking, you never know what type of situation they get into. i'd rather be safe than sorry.
