I was under the hood of my TL this weekend and noticed the o-ring that is between the hex-head nut and the inlet pipe of my CAI has been crushed and damaged. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement O-ring? I've contacted AEM about it but hasn't heard back from them.

thanks

 

Don't know the exact size but you could probably find a good match at a hardware store in the plumbing department (look in the sink/shower washer area). The o-ring that comes with the kit, at least in my case, doesn't fit that well to begin with. If you tighten the bolt down snug, the o-ring basically pops out. I ended up just barely snugging the bolt in there until the o-ring starts to push out. Also used a little teflon tape around the threads near the head of the bolt.

 

The o-ring did suck; mine disintigrated a long time ago. I never replaced it. I simply tightened the bolt down some more and everything has been fine since.

 

i lost mine during my install, went to the hardware store like jweb said found a perfect replacement. no problem

 

M12 2mm o-ring. Teflon tape instead should be fine.

 

I crushed mine pretty good during install...just called AEM and they sent me out a new one at no charge. The instructions on tightening those down are pretty weak, everyone over tightens and they end up destroying it....I think I even asked them to send me out two, pretty sure they did.

 

thanks for the info guys. mine was a little crushed when i first installed it, now it just broke apart over time.

 

Thats what I did ... a bunch of wraps of teflon tape and snug it down.
