the rubber valve getting stuck and/or sucked into the TB is only for a certain batch of bypass valves made. The ones you buy now will be just fine. There was a post or i read it in a magazine that if you bought the bypass valve between certain dates, that they MAY be defective.
No problems if you buy one now.
also, supposedly the Iceman CAI, due to its shaping, has higher air velocities than the AEM CAI. but, both iceman and AEM produce the same amount of HP. if not exactly the same, MAYBE 1HP difference.
