Default Broken AEM CAI .. anyone else ??

I noticed that the bracket that attaches the AEM CAI to the car's chassis broke off the intake pipe. My CAI is now only attached to the t-body via the coupler. Has this happened to anyone else ?? Is this covered under warranty by AEM ?? I'll be calling AEM shortly but I thought I'd ask and see if I was the only one with this problem. Thanks !!

Same thing has happened to me with 2 different AEM CAI along with the V2 cracking in several spots. AEM owned up to it though and sent me a brand new V2 intake whick had thicker welds in the very places mine broke at.

Right now, I'm using a 3" silicone coupler with a bracket to hold the CAI. It would really rock if AEM will replace this under warranty since I really didn't mess with it or use it in a manner other than it was supposed to be used. I'll give them a call .. thanks !!

duct tape, zip ties, or weld it back on.

Heard of it, didn't happen on mine. Let us know what AEM has to say if you don't mind.

ahhhh the fix to everything lmao... and it's what I'm using I think the torque of the motor will do it do just about any modded B without crazy stiff Hasport mounts. kinda ghetto but better than paying for the damn thing again.
