JUST INSTALLED AEM CAI YESTERDAY. INSTALL WAS PRETTY SIMPLE JUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCIONS. I SKIPPED THE FRONT WHEEL REMOVAL AND HAD NO REAL DIFFICULTIES. I BOUGHT IT FROM A LOCAL DEALER(LIGHTNING MOTORSPORTS) WEB SITE IS LIGHTNINGMOTORSPORTS.COM. PICKED IT UP FOR $229+TAX. YOU CANT TELL ANY DIFF UNTIL YOUR AT ABOUT HALF THROTTLE TO WIDE OPEN THEN YOU CAN REALLY HEAR AND FEEL THE DIFFERENCE. DEEP THROATY GROWL. NICE!

 

i just installed mine too, I had a problem with the lower piece it seems like the piece that bolted it onto the bolt with the bushing was welded in the wrong spot, I have it rigged up some sort of way though

 

THE BUSHING WITH THE RUBBER END, WASHER AND NUT FACES THE FRONT. ITS TRICKY TO GET THE BRACKET ON THE SMALLER PIPE END BEHIND THE WASHER AND TIGHTEN IT BUT THATS THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO GO.

 

psst...

your caps lock is on.

 

 

yes, the all caps is pretty annoying...

 

maybe tourrets?

 

maybe tourrets? id be in a fleet of joy after installin my intake

 

so the ground moves to the side where the tire is and bushing faces the front of the car?

 

how's the gas mileage?

 

Worthless without pics!!! Does it come with the bypass valve?

 

AEM : no bypass
TRD : yes bypass

 

Thanks for clearing that up!!

 

bypass?

 

Sorry about the all caps wasn't aware of that. A bypass is incase the filter becomes submerged in water the intake can still breath through the bypass in the engine bay.

 

ohhh ok

 

^^ which is weird that the TRD has the AEM bypass yet the AEM itself doesn't have it...???

oh well... AEM pretty.
