3G AEM V2 - Practically new but slightly damaged
I had this intake on my car for exactly 810 miles (I keep records of all mods and maintenance 
). Anyway, I've never been a fan of "intake whistle" so I replaced my AEM V1 with this V2 to see if there was a difference. There wasn't so I finally decided to go back to the stock intake.
The kit is practially new, however, the tube has a notch in it where the "ledge" where the tube passes through the fender was rubbing. This was my fault. I turned the tube all the way down up against that ledge to reduce the contact the filter was making with the fog light. I had some padding in place but it didn't hold up like I had planned so now there is a notch in the tube (a short section of hose split lengthwise on one side and wrapped around that "ledge" would have been ideal). It doesn't pierce the tube, looks to be slightly more that halfway through the thicknes, and you wouldn't see it when installed (see pics). There are some minor scratches around the notch but again, you wouldn't see this when installed. There is also a 1/8" dia. max. chip in the intake tube near the battery box which again wouldn't show when installed.
The filter, coupler and vibra mount have 810 miles on them. The hoses and clamps are still new since I used the V1 hoses I already had in place. I haven't even installed the stickers on the intake as shown in the pics. I also have the original packaging and documentation.
Price is $210 plus shipping. Would prefer to only ship to the lower 48 but will consider shipping outside if I have to. Sorry for the excessive details but I feel it's only fair to completely describe something that people may buy. Feel free to ask any questions

Vouch for the product, mine dented a little bit during installation (very slight, barely visible).
However when I pumped the gas everything goes right out the window. This intake makes your TL sound so damn mean. Its a deep roar coming from under your hood.
