From what I gather off AEM's website, the bypass is pressure sensitive. When the filter is submerged in water, the engine pulls way more vacuum then normal because water is harder to suck up than air. When this happens a screen of somesort on the bypass opens and allows the engine to run off of unfiltered air. Thus avoiding hydrolock.

That's what I've pieced together.
