WIll the CAI that fits the 'O1 fit into the '03? What if the bypass is already on the pipe??


Just curious

 

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.

 

huh yeah i know that but i remember some people saying it would fit with some adjustmet......HMmmmmmm.

 

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 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....

Ugh this isn't looking good The pipe has been cut already and not sure if i want to cut it again. Oh well, it's all speculation right no anyway.

 

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...

 

:P :P :P :P :P

:P dork hehe


Ugh ppl, i don't want to have to jump through hoops.

I'm already in enough pain in going through the numbers.

 

Oh for cryin out loud... Buy it and STFU already!!! :P


You can live without the CAI for a while. It's a 6spd dude....



mmmm.... 6spd.

 

You know you want it !!!!!
Count EM DUDE……..THREE PEDALS !!!!!

I know, i know I'm sorry. Just want to make sure I do my homework before i walk into the dealership and look like more of an idiot than I already am.

 

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.

 

Can anyone confirm the AEM part number? Is it 21-419? Thanks.

 

That's the right number. i hope my picture in the previous post helped. Goodluck.

 

Thanks Titand19. In you opinion how tough was the DIY spring and sway install??

 

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