Re: intake on an auto*

yes there is a difference. the AEM intakes are specifically for autos. i think that the Injens are made for both.

if it was designed for an auto, then no. if it was designed for a manual, then yes you will have a problem. the auto tranny is bigger that the manual tranny.

Re: intake on an auto*

Now when I ordered my AEM CAI I don't remember telling them if I had an auto or a manual. I have a manual and my AEM CAI works great. I didn't think it made a difference but hell what do I know. I just buy the stuff and have someone put in on for me....lol

Re: intake on an auto*

Just make sure when you order it you tell them exactly what you have. If your ordering it from a well known place then you should be OK. I paid my local mechanic 20 bucks to put it on for me. I just like things to be installed correctly since I have no experience with auto mechanics. Getting better now though....lol

Re: intake on an auto*

every company i find online is overpriced. i was sure there was a group buy wehre the prices were reasonable (200-220), or if you don't care about a name , PJ automotive has some for like 90$

and it seems every intake i've done besides my own, has been a PAIN IN THE ASS. either we were missing a part, or something wouldn't fit, or it wasn't quite 100%

ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

brand new wouldn't be bad
