Now that there are a few people with the 2003 6-speed, I was wondering if someone could make note of the differences between the 03 and the 02. I want to mod my 03, but i don't know what will fit. it has already been established that the 02 AEM CAI does not fit the 03 6-speed because of the missing VSA. Does anyone else know of any other possible conflicts?

 

I assume that all the mods will fit on the 03 because of the same engine in the older models.

 

so i cant put an aem cai on my 03 6 spd???

 

the AEM will fit if...you cut of the top section where the vacuum lines connect and use the factory boot....X style...all others im aware of also will work...

 

Lucky for you, the hydraulic kit I developed for my 01 will still fit the 6-speed.

 

So i can use the 02 AEM CAI with the 2003? But i have to do something else. CAn you describe in further detail or do you know nayone with pictures of a 03 6-speed with an intake? Thanks for the help.

 

about two inches towards the motor after the bend in the AEM cai...cut there attach to the factory boot where it entered the stock air resonator BOX...proceed as usual

 

What about the vacuum prongs on the AEM CAI? If you were to attach the CAI as described above, would you leave the vacumn hoses on the boot? You'd then have those prongy thingies on the CAI not attached to anything... Maybe I'm missing something???

 

just get the xephyr cold air intake like shawn did.

 

If you can find one.

 

yes you are missing something...thats the part you just cut off...

 

I'm gonna blame my stupidity on this head cold I'm fighting. Thanks for clearing that up typeR.

nice! Now i am deffintily gonna buy that new 03' six speed.

 

The aem fits, just differently then the other, it doesn't go right up to the throttle body. i'll have pics up soon and i'm getting my comptech axelback in about a week and a half so i'll let you know if there's any problems with that when i put it in
