AEM CAI problem
i ordered it from this site and i indicated that i wanted the 99 model. when i got it and started in stalling i noticed that there were 4 hoses instead of 2. 2 of which had antifreeze in them. I than looked for 4 inlets in the aem piping only to see 2. and the one on the left isnt even big enough for the throttle body hose to enter. I then looked at the sheet that came with my CAI and it said 2000-2003 3.2tl. i am pretty pissed and i really want to make this work. what is going on?!? please help me.. my car is in pieces and i dont know what to do.
thanks in advance,
matt

yeah, lol.... I installed my CAI on my 99, and when I removed the small radiator from the intake I had the same god awful feeling about that antifreeze, but I quickly cut out the radiator and bypassed the two hoses and reconnected them to each other, so basically the car doesn't know that it doesn't have that second radiator. I didn't move my horn, cause I dont know where the hell to put it. I just went to Home Depot and bought 2 metal pipe holders (like the ones that hold the rubber on the CAI pipe) and put one around the horn area, and the other down lower on a small piece of metal between the battery and the headlight assembly area.
