Default What to do with a bent/crushed AEM CAI and worthless Short Ram?



Cut them up, of course. (note: I've had these for years, both of which I got used, I do not feel bad about cutting them up. I ran over my CAI when it came loose from my throttle body about 2 years ago. Killed the filter and bent the 45 degree mandrel. I still ran a 14.0 with a bent mandrel and fucked up filter.)



Inspired by http://www.honda-perf.org/pics/B18C1EG/other/aem/



Need to JB Weld the dampener brace thing up, paint the piping black or silver, and do the downtube for the filter, in addition to actually purchasing a filter.

Anyway, this solves the problem of the AEM GSR CAI getting dented up by being placed in a weird position for EG Hybrids so the piping goes through the factory intake hole and not under the frame rail. Also makes overflow bottle clearance a non-issue.

Flames, questions, whatever, have at it.

Gets some clamps for the rubber. Air (dirt) may still be getting sucked in...

Oh, no, I'm just test fitting it. No filter, etc.

I'll get clamps for everything when I actually plan to turn the car on.

If I had a nickel for everytime someone pointed out the fact that my tranny was newer than the motor, I'd have an ITR tranny instead of a GSR. I have no idea what's up with that. That's how I got it.

No idea about the distributor. Same thing that's been on there since I got it a couple years ago.
