AEM doesn't fit 6-Speed

Help!! I just tried installing my brand new shiny red AEM intake without the bypass valve, and it doesn't come close to fitting. I had contacted AEM and they said the intake for the 2001-2002 should fit. I ordered from Auto Car Parts(www.autocarparts.com) They were by far the cheapest that I had found. The intake came in a factory sealed box, part # 21-419R, and it doesn't fit. It is about 6 inches to short from the throttle body on the top side, and it looks like the pipe will have to be shortened to fit the air filter.

Has anyone had success installing or will I have to post the AEM on the black market?

Thanks in advance for any advice/help.

Cut it like you are going to put in a bypass valve, then go to the hardware store and get some rubber tubing, like on the top of the CAI, presto.........it will fit!!!!!

I have a pic of how i made mine fit without any modifications to the AEM Intake. Just look around, you'll find it. Sorry my site isn't updated.
