make one yourself... relocate the battery and run in to the right side of the engine bay... through the battery tray if you want a "cold air" intake

No, the extension is the portion in focus. I got an Injen intake then got a CAI extention from someone else. You really notice the different in the feel of the car with the extention.

Hey man I have the AEM on my 96. It is 2.5" compared to Injen's 3", don't know if you can really feel a difference between 2.5" and 3"... I can't. Both feel better than stock to me though. Both sound nice also.

If you get red or silver and want to change sometime for a blue one let me know. I'm going to paint my car red and I think my blue stands out kinda superman-ish. lol.

Seriously though, as long as you can find a shop that will do the bends for you you may be better off just getting one custom made and a k&n filter.

I got a 3" ebay intake before the AEM and it was nice. The angle of the bends was just a tad off which I think could have been easily adjusted.

If I could go back in time I would have saved my money and stuck with the 3" ebay intake with the k&n filter, not that AEM is not good, just overpriced as are all Name brand intakes.

*If you want to stay legal in Cali and look pretty get the AEM its 130 on ebay.

*If you want it too look semi pretty get ELCheapo intake pipe and K&N filter...Or make your own

*If you just want the sound cut your airbox
