Close Call.......but got away

I just put my AEM Cold Air Intake on yesterday. It sounds awsome. The engine feels like it is roaring with power.

Well, last night I was driving to work. While i was going down the road I was hot dogging the engine to hear it's great sound. Then, I pull up on an automatic Pontiac Grand Prix.

The guy starts to line up with me, instead of let me pass him. Then he slowly eases up and starts to pull away. So, I drop my car into 3rd and slam the gas home. Quickly I overtake him and by the time i make it to 5th I have put 3 cars on him. We are going 110mph down the hwy. We pass a car(it's my co-worker going to work...lol)
Then, my radar detector goes off. A car about a 1/8th mile ahead of me all of the sudden slams on the breaks and pulls off into the grass. FUCK! It's a cop!

The grand prix and I slam on the breaks and cruise by the cop. After we get about 500 yards passed him he pulls back onto the road. My turn to go to work is less than a 1/4 mile away and around a bend. I slam the car into 3rd again and hurry to my turn. I turn off the road and fly down it, losing any cars behind me.

That was close! My co-worker was laughing and saying she was hoping that i would get pulled.

I guess that this could be considered my first race in my new car.

I'm so happy with it. I take the long way home now just to hear its sound longer. "Growl" is a good way to describe it.

Wow! Mine cost $235 shipped the another $30 for the valve. But I think it's because my car is a new model. I could of gotten a deal like that if i ordered a 99 intake.

You also have a short ram not a CAI. The Short Rams are a lot cheaper then the CAI. I got my CAI off e-bay as well and it was 60 bucks. It is not an AEM but I noticed like a 4-5 horse increase over the short ram that I had and I love the BOV sound when I shift.

LOL @ Melt

Mine doesn't say AEM on it anymore. I had to remove the lettering because that's where I had to cut the pipe to install the Bypass Valve.

I guess my car isnt as fast now without the letters. damn
