Finally got my AEM CAI. A friend of mine hooked me up for 179.00
I did the install my self it took me about 3 hours all I had was a floor jack, two jack stands, A Leatherman "Wave" multitool, 2 zipties, and a 10mm long socket with 3/4 inch ratchet. the only hard part was cutting the fender well plastic. Industrial clippers would have made the cutting alot easier. The car sounds like a screaming banchee now and you can feel the Hp increase. The only down side was that the AEM kit was missing 2 C-clamps for the lower intake pipe, luckly I had a couple of old ones in my tool box "quick fix". Over all Im very happy with it and now that the factory air box is out of the way oil changes are a snap! Check out the Pic's Here is about 7-10 pounds of crap "Bye-Bye Comptech"
