the bypass valve is completly useless for your car. There is no way to mount it how it needs to be. check out AEM's website. It needs to be around six inches away from the throttle body, but still inline with it.

what difference will it make with the stock air box back on?

i didn't say it wouldn't fit, i just said it won't work. At least not the way its intended to.

From AEM's website

Quote:

AEM has developed an Air Bypass Valve for its Cold Air Induction Systems. This
valve installs on the intake pipe along the same axis as the throttle body and
eliminates the chance of water ingestion should the filter element become wet from
rain, hail, sleet, snow, flood or any other scenario where the filter element could
encounter or become completely submerged in water. The Air Bypass Valve is
designed to open when the filter element becomes completely submerged in water
thereby preventing terminal engine damage. The Air Bypass Valve is available in
three sizes to fit every AEM intake system diameter. It’s crafted from mineral
reinforced polycarbonate, which has outstanding corrosion resistance properties.

There is no way on the SI to install that valve on the same axis at the throttle body.
