Branded CAI for CLS6

I'm looking for a branded CAI (KN, Injen, etc.) for a CLS6. Al the ones I find on eBay, even Injen listings all say A/T only. Does anyone know where I can get one (that's verifiable) going to fit a 6MT?

TIA

If cost is not a concern, call up AEM 800-992-3000 and see if part #21-419 or 21-509 CIA will fit the CL-S6:



I'm thinking the 21-509 would be the one because it has two ports?

My CLS6 came with a used AEM CAI. But, i ended up upgrading to a 4". I still have the AEM, but i don't know the part number.

#21-509 says this product fits: 1995-2003 Acura CL ONLY 2003 M/T CL Type S.
How would same intake fit on 1st gen CL 2.3L unless they're talking about the 3.0L variant.

You most likely read that on this website correct?
AEM Cold Air Intake 21-509 - King Motorsports Unlimited, Inc.

Besides, 619rcr mentioned that he had an AEM on his CL-S6 when it was purchased.
The red arrow shows it is an AEM, most likely an early version of the 21-509, and the yellow indicates the two ports connections needed for a CL-S6.

Furthermore, AEM's website shows the picture below for the 21-509 with two ports (yellow), 'w/Manual Trans', highlighted in magenta.



Finally, the AEM website indicates that CIA 21-419 below, with one port, is for the 'w/Auto Trans."; therefore, I would be more inclined to trust AEM's data versus Kingmotorsports website, make sense?
One call to the AEM toll free 800 number provided above will hopefully alleviate any continuing doubts you may have on which one is for the CL-S6?
Then you can search high & low on the 'web' for the best price and let your 'sixer' breeeeeeath!
