...cold intake system installed. The first place I went to wants $450

intake = $299.
bypass valve = $50.
labor = $80.

Am I getting screwed? Thanks

 

$300 for a aem cai is a bit too much. you might still be able to pick up an intake for $235 shipped from one of the vendor. bypass valve seems ok. labor, no clue.

 

Best price I've found (so far) is $224 for the TL-S; it's $237 with shipping. Regardelss $299 is WAY too much.

IMHO, labor is not bad. Say an hour or so for $80. That seems pretty decent.

 

80 isnt TOO bad...but..you can just DIY. Alot easier, and at the end its somethin to be proud of

 

i got my AEM CAI from a store on ebay (kumora motoring(?)) and paid $235 shipped...installation at a local shop was $150...

 

installation and bypass valve seem right. cost of aem for 299......too much. i got mine for 210 at a local shop

 

I could do it with my eyes closed but I don't have time. I did the headlights and tails myself. I just want to pay and have it done.

Does anyone have a link to a better AEM price. He will match internet pricing.

Thanks

 

Go to eBay and check out Karuma's store as rimz said.

they're out of the AEM CAI right now...they've got the Injen one, though...

 

Fujita one can be bought for 125 brand new. There's a seller on Ebay, when you offer him 125, he takes it

 

and the bypass valve is bs, you wont suck in water without it, I vote get the fujita install it yourself and save $325 while you are at it


I am in nyc, if you are anywhere near I can do it for you...

 

Do you get the same throaty sound and gains from the Fujita? Thanks

 

Pretty much, people say fukita is louder at hiher rpms and quiter at low rpms, but i mean...you really cant get that crazy with a filter and pipe

(Oops! Same item as above)

 

i got mine 300 installed.the guy i bought the intake came to my house and installed it too....looks tricky to remove the stock but i dont want to mess up things....you think its a good deal guys?

 

You could also support Acurazine and support the Acurazine vendors. eBay doesn't support Acurazine so why give your business to ebay? Acurazine vendors pay monthly advertising fees so that Acurazine can operate as it does and not charge members for membership. Why not try PMing one of your vendors about the intake before buying it on ebay?

 

you dont need a bypass unless ur going in 4ft of water so save ur bucks n get the filter cleaning kit instead.

 

Dude, I set up my laptop on my workbench on the installation thread and it took well under an hour with simple tools. You don't have to take the fairing off, either.

 

labor to much they only charged me 40 for my aem CAI

 

You dont have time but have time to put it in a shop, that will take no more than an hr?

 

Seriously? I thought it was more like 3 hours

 

do it urself itll take an hour. make sure u remove the battery and instake from the engine bay first. lift the car on the left side pull the box out from under the bumper and ur done (theres bolts holding it all together so youll need to undo those first obviously) with the removal the install is a joke just make sure u dont over tighten the side intake mount other wise the intake will crack like mine =) and then you'll have to get it welded....like i did. ENJOY!!!!

 

lemme know when you wanna install it, still should get a fujita (just read it in spanish, pronounced fuw - he - taah lol)

 

Bypass valve is Bs, waste of 50 bux dude, and you lose some power installing it
