It has been available since at least Feb, but few to no companies stock it because it does almost nothing in HP gain.

According to a posting that I have seen at Mcgeorge parts it is a flawed design, that has no advantages whatsoever, and is currently unable to pass all tests.

It does look nice though!

I believe that AEM has gone back to the drawing board and is currently re-designing it from the ground up.

There should be a Version 2 available within the next several months.

From what i heard i thought it was never released due to it not passing carb. It was never available, and still is not. So no... you cant get it anywhere.

At our latest meet in Avondale, a Toyota Employee mentioned that they will no longer be selling AEM CAI for scion. They will be shifting all Performance parts over to TRD. They actually stopped selling them already!
So it looks like Maybe AEM can make one that will not pass now!! PRAYING!!!!

Flint how can u say that the CAI didn't gain any hp? Anytime u take out the stock intake system u gain hp. The stock intake system is so restrictive because of smog it aint even funny. I've seen peeps make there own CAI and gain atleast 5 hp at the wheels.
