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.

 

yup known fact cause of the lack of VSA. i would just return it or make a custom one for now

 

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!!!!!

 

im also waiting for the aem cold air for the 6speed. the shop said they could do a custom job but then it would also look custom, they said it would be better to just wait for aem. so any know when its coming out??

 

you have to make it fit like so
