sounds like that guy is an author... he wrote that with so much detail.

the problem a few years ago was with the foam getting injected into the throttle body... this new issue is with the rubber flaps.

Everyone is right though... put the car in neutral.

and in a few years there will be something else ... aem makes shitty products that end up costing the consumer in the long run when shit like this happens. The only reason everyone thinks they are so great and "dyno proven" is cause they have ripped off enough people to do the dyno testing.

Id turn the car off instead of putting itinto neutral, and revving the hell out of the motor. I'd just turn the key off one click. Yeah you loose power steering & power brakes, but the car will still be controllable.

Bottom line, the Bypass valve is faily useless unless you like driving through lakes; it even sucks in some hot, less filtered air from the engine bay. For all the trouble & risks, its really only a "feel-good" mod.

Well, drop it in neutral and then shut the motor off quick... you can do some damage if you cut the ignition while the car is moving and in drive.
