Just spent the last hour and a half or so installing a silver AEM intake with a bypass valve.

Thanks to my wife for a badass Christmas present!

It sounds so awesome!

I'm now a member of the AEM intake club. Guess I need to update my sig.

 

 

yup, here too, i just got a blue one from my girlfriend and installed it this morrning. she got me the bypass filter but I did not feel like installing it.

 

and here we go, wohooooooooooooo , I love this thing

 

Samer007, part of your install is wrong, reply and I'll explain.

 

whats wrong with the install?? Just curious.

 

So if something's wrong here... what is it?

 

You see that metal tube that runs from where the cai attaches to the engine to over by the oil filler cap? It should have been removed. The hose that's attached to the right side of it should go all the way to the block.

 

Yes thats right, but the way he did it wont harm anything, so i hear.

 

aren't there actually 2 lines connected to the metal tube? what do you do with the other one?

 

Actually that metal tube will soon be chewing a hole in our friends hoodliner, also it looks much cleaner without it. It will function the same though.

AVI8TIR, yes there is a coolant line that runs w/ the vacuum line. Take off the plastic engine covers and it will become obvious how to replace the line. You need about 2' of 5/16 fuel line (trim to fit). Instead of running the line towards the front of the motor you will go behind(from where the cai mounts to the throttle body). The instructions fail to address the issue of removing this metal line.

 

ohh, I folowed ChodtheWacko's directions, the pic he got still shows that tube.

but thanks, I'll remove it.
