ACP.com says "NO". The AEM for 2001 models will only fit Auto Trannies. Obviously haven't tried it, just passing on what I read.

It will fit if you cut a few inches of the pipe off and make it look like the Xephyr design like I have.
I believe you will need a rubber adapter to clamp onto the throttle body.

I think there are one or two people here that did this.
I’m sure they’ll see this and reply.

Shawn,
Yeah that's what i remember hearing but the AEM already has rubber thing that acts as a connector between the TB and PIPE.

its no prob...look at your stock setup...see where it connects to the resonator cut your aem so that it connect there utilizing the factory boot for throttle body and vacuum line connections....enjoy

You can

You can cut your factory Hose or go to the Harware store and head for the PVC/water dept.... get a 2-1/2 or 2-3/4 piece of PVC about 4 inches long... get two rubber pipe adapters one that goes to the plentium and the other to the intake... get your self a few hose clamps and go to town....

DO not cut the AEM intake, it looks ugly. If you wanted to cut it you could have just bought a foot and a half of piping from HOmedepot. Cut the the rubber hose.

I thought I read somewhere that it will fit.

You just need to find a 3" diameter pipe, cut it to about 6" in length and weld the two together.


















j/k I have no idea...

the intake will fit. what i did to get it installed was to cut the factory rubber boot off the on the AEM side. it takes a little work to get the boot over the aem.

Titand19 - About the picture....What did you do with the hoses that appear to be disconnected near where the CAI attaches to the TB?
