Thread: AEM CAI Installation Instructions

ok, perfect so it's not necessary, I think I'll improvise... thanks

As for the missing coupler, you will figure out which one is missing immediately. They are not the same size and the one you have goes only where it fits OK.

PS> It is rather difficult to try and find a scanner to scan 4 pages of instructions! I can type the parts list of what was in there if needed.

Thanks, that was what I wanted to hear (read) I'll remove the OEM air intake and see where it fits and then check for the missing couple in a local store, thanks a lot guys.

I don't think i'll need the parts list with this but i'll keep in touch if I need it later, thank you so much "hpro123".

Here you go... my old b13, I liked this intake a lot.

Good to hear.

3 notes though...

1. Both of the large couplers are "reducing" couplers, they are not straight, as you can see in the picture. SO, put the one that fits on (either from tube to TB, or from end of MAF to other tube) and then measure the diameters of the tube & whatever remains to figure what "reducer" coupler you need. In the pic you have, the one on the left of the MAF is #3, the one on the right of the MAF is one of the #7s.

2. If you do not have the base that helps you move the battery tray to hte left, you need to improvise somehow, in my installation it WAS NEEDED, otherwise the tube would rub badly.

3. The hole you need to cut (enlarge) so the tube goes inside the fender IS important for rubbing reasons as well. I will take a pic of my installation but it will not be available for 3-4 days since I am way up in the mountains and no difital camera is around.

Perfect, i'll take note on whatever you said to install my intake, i'll let you know how was it, thanks again.

you should only have one reducing coupler(the one that goes to the tb), two straight couplers for both sides of the maf.

thank you all guys, I installed my CAI successfully on monday, it was easy, just needed another reducer coupler and that was it, the battery didn't need to be moved because it's small, now I'll try to paint it because it's pretty damaged, I'll post you pics later of the before-after proccess; thanks again.

you'll love how your car sounds now. Pulls much better, too. Enjoy!
