AEM CAI issues
So my charcoaled colored AEM CAI keeps disconnecting where it connects in the middle of the 2 pieces..I'm talking on a daily basis.. so last night I had enough and replaced it with the stock airbox.. I miss the sound of the CAI but was getting tired of having to fix the CAI most of the time daily.. any solutions anyone on how to get the thing to stay together???

Based on your description, you likely lost the soft mount hardware. There should be a rubber 'cylinder', a couple washers, and a long screw/nut used to hold lower section of the CAI.
Hope you did not lose the bracket. Apparently they've been know to break on occaision. See note from 'prostreetonline' website:
Q: What does the soft mount do and how important is it?
A: The majority of AEM air intake system designs mount to a vehicle in two locations. One mounting location is to the engine at the throttle body and the
