i got my aem CAI off ebay and its has this ugly black plastic peice and a kinda weak look filter. and it came in a white box with aem labels, not the blue and red.
i just wanna see pics of the eco cai to compare. and a part number if u have one.
Listen F***ers. FASTERTHANAHONDA is a joke because I WORK FOR HONDA. I'll talk @!#$ about Fords to, that doesn't mean I can beat a 12 second mustang.
Just go on the AEM site and compare,you may have been ripped off
15.2@89mph 2.171 60ft. 9.830 1/8 R.I.P. "LULU"
why dont YOU post pics and we'll tell you if its a knockoff.
alos.....when you bought the intake, did the listing state " AEM STYLE"???? which means knockoff
oh yeah.....how much did you pay for it. you wont get a real one for under $200 if its new.
The old aem stuff came in white and blue boxes...the new stuff comes in the bright boxes...it might just be a earlier model..phil
slvr05cav, thanks. thats exactly what mine looks like except mines polished.
and its listed the actual part number and i double checked the AEM site to make sure its the cold air 21-448 and not a short ram being called a cold air. and all in all i wound up paying 248 something after CA tax and shipping.
i think im just gonna sand and paint the black plastic peice lime green (i have a color sceme planned)

FWIW I have never once in my life seen a lime green engine bay look good.....
this post is old but have a question with the aem cai where the fuel line rail is there is a hose.. they say replace the hose with some kind of small filter, are there any other options on replacing this line or filter
I know the thread is old but at least I did a search.
My question is, do you have to remove the bumper to install the AEM CAI for the Ecotec?
Also, I heard a couple things that need clarified:
The AEM only works on the ABS model Sunfire or Cavalier. (supposedly because of some mount or bracket)
The AEM intake later came out as a one piece design as the older one piece threw check engine light codes.
Are these statements true?
Any help is appreciated
2003 Sunfire with a 2 1/4 inch turbo muffler, 2 1/4 piping to a 2 1/2 inch resonator (bigger to make up for the baffling), a 2 1/4 inch catalytic converter, 2 1/4 inch down-pipe, a ported LSJ manifold, a drop in K&N filtercharger and sports a Bomber body kit with a VIS Invader hood.
I have mine installed, and no you dont remove the bumper, you remove the inner wheel whell liner and the filter in in the fender. it will work on ALL models.
BTW mine was 139.99 SHIPPED

The Weapon R intake looks just as good, but it ends with the filter in the engine bay aimed to the right.
Has anyone just added a 90 degree pipe and made it into a CAI instead?
They want $120 compared to AEM wanting $250.
Better deal or just go with AEM?
Thanks again...
if ur goin to go that route on the extension, just fab up your own pipin then.

Yes it is. SMG uses Nopi as their supplier and a while back Nopi was selling their special edition ones at closeout price a while back, that's how people got them from SMG really cheap.
