Has anyone found any of the AEM hybrid intakes for sale yet? I really want one now. If anyone has found one, let me know where, thanks.

hybrid intakes? What car do you have and what motor is in it?

Yeah, AEM is making CAIs for swapped Hondas. I have a 94 hatch with an ITR swap.

You know, there are other options than AEM's Hybrid intakes...people have been sticking CAI on swapped honda's long before AEM made these. However, I understand why they decided to sell "hybrid intakes"...many everyday people with swaps have no clue as to what will fit on what motor in what engine bay, and a "hybrid intake" solves the problem of "what do I put in" for these people.
As for where you can find it for sale...

http://www.aempower.com/

there's the AEM website, look up the phone number and call them. If they won't sell direct to you, I am sure they will direct you to a place that will.

Lower-end Civics have a metal plate where the intake would normally route on say an Si. So, instead of cutting out that plate and buying a regular Si intake, AEM made larger Si-sized tubing and routed it the same way a DX one would go - around that metal plate.

OMFG....what a crock of shit. Introducing a product that didn't even need to be mnade, and getting recognition for it? Fuck the import world.

LOL...I didn't say I liked the product...I said SCC called it on the the 10 best products of SEMA...I didn't say I thought that, lol. As I said in a post before that, people have been sticking CAI's on hybirds long before AEM introduced the product this year...I guess they saw an opertunity to make $$ and took it...and by the looks of it, it worked. I agree though, I wouldn't buy one...I've had an CAI on my swapped car for years. It didn't need to be made, you're right. But you know what they say...if it will sell....
