the little mounting bracket broke off. now it's just dangling there from the throttle body

will aem send me out a replacement with a return tag? i know some of you have had this same situation. i guess i'll call them tomorrow.

 

I went to the shop that I bought it from. They got me a new one and then swaped them out

 

I have the same problem. Trust me you are not the only one with this problem. I had my performance shop call them, to see what they say. I also called aem and left them a message ot get back to me. I hoep they dont give me any shit about this. I will let u know what I find out.

Damn...seems like a lot of AEM stuff breaking lately

 

AEM has a lifetime warranty...supposedly

 

my aem bracket broke off as well. when i called them they wanted to see the mounting bracket and hardware to determine if i installed the intake correctly. i did not like the crappy bracket so i did modify it to allow me to tighten it more securely. so because i tourqued the bracket down hard the bracket broke off. they did offer to sell me just the tube which i thought was somewhat reasonable. so if you installed the bracket as directed in the instructions you will definetly get a warranty replacement.

 

i got mine replaced =) i acutally drove to AEM and they replaced one for me even the filter too after i used for 2 years. but i called and sent pix before i went.

 

AEM is shit man.. they don't wanna spend an extra 2 minutes making sure there is a good weld there and charge over $200 for a stinking painted tube!

 

chalk up yet another one

if the pipe hasn't been cracked or ripped open, u might as well use the rubber O-ring and do what i, and others, have done

i urge u to allow the pipe to have some flexibility to it, but it's yer call

check out how easy and effective the ring is...u really don't even need a mounting bracket...

 

i talked to aem today, they are sending me out a new pipe and a return tag. i had to give them my credit card # and fax a copy of the receipt. they said i wont be charged unless i dont send in the bad pipe.

ruvs, the weld didn't break, the bracket broke right next to the weld.

scooter, is that aem? the install looks incorrect.

 

this is what it should look like

I think he has a Xephyr...

 

that makes more sense

 

uh huh

point i was making was the use of the O-ring to help guard the pipe from the surrounding sheetmetal if the pipe flexed too much side to side...the O-ring does help to stabilize the pipe from overshifting as well
