Default aem COLD AIR INTAKE when?

I know this might get moved, but I just want to know when the aem cold air intake is going to be available to buy and actually HAVE IT installed on your engine. I know there are people who already have it ordered. Does anyone actually have the AEM cold air installed? I know aem is still waiting for their C.A.R.B approval so if anyone could give me ANY information when its actually coming out so i can order it and get it to my house within a few days. Im tired of waiting and want it real bad..any longer and im just gonna go ahead and get my short shifter and interior lights.

I went and slapped a TRD filter in my airbox to make the wait smoother. Who knows when the AEM intake will be out, the testing is taking forever.

I also have a sneaking suspicion that both the CAI and Supercharger will become available late this year or early next year.

I can't fault Scion for releasing the tC so early, but they should have accounted for the intense demand for dealer-approved aftermarket parts.

After all, that's what the Scion brand is partially built on.

Spoke to a Scion parts guy yesterday and the intake is ready they're all sitting at the AEM awrehouse in Torrance, but they're having the worst time ever trying to get CARB approval and won't sell the intake without out. Who's with me in raiding the warehouse?!

the parts department at my dealer just called me back and said that they expect them out by the end of march. god i hope they are right this time im tired of waiting. i think we should flood scion with e-mails until the give us all something free. not just a tee shirt either, maybe a shift **** or pedal set. something for my damn car.



my e-mail is sent
