This thread is to find out exactly how many people had fitment problems on '02-'03 TL Type-S with the AEM CAI kit.

I installed mine two days ago, and it looked to be physically impossible to fit the filter on. So I had to cut about 4 inches off the pipe. AEM's customer service was being a dick about it (If I ever go to California, I'm taking that sawed off piece of the intake and I'm gonna shove it right up the ass of that cocky SOB tech support guy) and basically didn't give a damn about my situation.

He said that I was only the second person to call about this problem. Let's see if he was telling the truth.

So if you have an '02-'03 TL Type-S, and had a fitment problem with the AEM CAI, then please post here! Thanks!

The reason you are having problems installing the filter is because u have to install the filter on the car before you install the tube on the throttle body. It even says it in the directions to do that. WHile the intake tube is sitting loosely in the engine bay, you mount the filter from under the car, then line it up on the throttle body. Easy as hell install took me about 45 minutes.

fitment sucks. It really sucks if you add a bypass valve. I had to cut a decent amount to make it all fit.
