I know its not AEM but after just buyin the car a little short on cash
the only other things i really did are an audio system
including
Polk speaker

jbl bpx amp
and alpine type R 12 subwoofer
Any recommendations greatly appreciated im trying to get pics for ya as we speak.

looks exactly like the one I have.. not sure what kind of brand mine is but it looks similar. i can tell a difference.. no complaints here at all. installation is real easy.. check the DIY (do it yourself) listings and there MIGHT be a step by step install.. not sure.

I ordered that exact CAI....DONT GET IT! I hated it! It fit like crap or maybe it was just my intall. Also the filter fell off once and the top part of the intake kept coming of. I just took it off and used my stock stuff til I get an AEM.

I have a similar one, also an Injen clone. Works great, I'd buy it again. It fits perfectly and nothing has fallen off, since I tightened the clamps properly. wink1.gif Mine came with blue silicone hoses and a washable cone filter, which works awesome when new, but by the time you have to wash it a few times it's pretty much dead and doesn't flow well at all. I also have a k&n filter, and I have been swapping between the two to see how they compare. When new, the paper filter seemed to give me a bit more power.
I'm actually thinking about buying a second one, and using the main pipe to add a bit of length and position my filter in the fender.

If you install it properly i am sure it works fine.
*cough landshark*
lol...
I would not be too worried, just make sure u install it right and get everything tightened.
