AEM CAI owners.....
So, I am looking @ $213.95 + shipping?
Did you opt for the optional bypass valve? ($46.88) Was the $260.83 worth the time & effort?
Thanks in advance -

Navigation, factory spoiler, moonroof visor, factory blackwood trim, PIAA wedge-bulbs (ion yellow/#19173), rubber Acura "all-weather" floor mats, 50% tint, & K&N high flow air filter(#33-2178).
***AEM CAI, Comptech exhaust/springs & rims & tires TBA***

Hmmm, price for bypass valve has gone up...I recall it being $39.99(that's what I paid for it). Don't mind me, just rambling 
Actually, the AEM CAI is well worth it
If you want an alternative, there's always the Xephyr CAI. Less expensive and comes with the bypass valve already installed

Actually, the AEM CAI is well worth it As for the bypass valve, it rains a lot in Vancouver, but I don't think it'll help any. I just bought it for the peace of mind...better safe than sorry.

I installed the AEM CAI a couple of weeks ago and am totally satisfied. For the cost if definitely was worth it. I do suggest you purchase the by pass value and it only takes about an extra 15 min to install.

if your paying 260 for a CAI plus bypass your paying too much. Talk to Xephyr, what a ripoff your getting.

I LOVE MINE.
You’re even located in New Jersey, so is Xephyr.
You could probably meet up with him in person somewhere if you are worried about dealing with a small upstart company.
