DIY for AEM CAI???

***'06Siguy*** · 07-04-2006, 05:21 PM

I need a DIY for a AEM CAI. Is there a thread already posted with this?

nevermind...I got it installed, and WOW. It makes quite a differance from stock. The sound is really ammazing. I didn't have any real problems except for fitting the 90 degree elbow onto the T/B and the CAI tube. It almost seemed like it was too short, but after a while of fiddling, it lined up. The directions where fairly easy to follow...I just wish the pictures would have been a little better to see. Anyway...later all

No CEL. Do you have an SI?

gus738 · 09-29-2006, 10:32 PM

i got an Ex fully loaded and under construction

soon to be sponserd

I think the CEL is only a problem with the non-SI's.

well my cel went on then after a while i stoped using the car for a bit ( not even turninig it 0n) so i tried one day to turn it on and battery needed boost so i did and cel was gone ! but then again after using it for the day the cel code came back

get a new battery and check the piping on your CAI and make sure nothing is loose...the CEL should go away

gus738 · 12-27-2006, 11:44 AM
