AEM intake replacement
Thursday, May 11, 2006 4:12 PM
I have an AEM Cold Air intake in right now, and you know the plastic tube that goes from the TB to the Aluminum part of the CAI? Well you know how AEM has it bent wierdly at the end, I don't like it and I want to replace it, but does anyone know where I could get a straighter tube, like one of those build your own? I can't find a website that sells it. The tube has to have the MAF sensor and the opening for the tube to the head. Thank you.

the 1 included is the only one that is gonna work

the aem sits low , and all the others sit high

there elbow part of the tube flows very well , and its not causing any loss of power

what he said but if its really bothering you that much what you could do is get a 90degree bend and a straight rubber tube and connect it like that. So it will go 90degree bend--aluminum tube--straight rubber coupler--rest of AEM CAI. Any intake will have the hole for the IAT as long as its made for a cav/fire.

oh wait, what if i bought one of those throttle body spacers, those can accept MAF sensors right? so all i would have to do is put a pipe connecting to my aem intake, right? just an idea..

Euuughhhh noobs. TB Spacers are junk. Just leave the AEM piece as it is, your hack job is going to end up losing power.

the AEM plastic piece is ugly, but its very well designed and flows as good or better than any other. your only real choice (other than some redneck cobble-job) is a different intake. K&N and RKSport make nice ones...but the are short intakes not CAI.
