I WAS READING THAT SOME PEOPLE WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AEM SHORT RAMS,WELL I BOUGHT ONE AND IT WAS MISSING A CONNECTOR AND THE FIRST ELBOW THAT CONNECTS TO THE THROTLE BODY WAS THE WRONG ONE ! DAMM ! IT WAS A 45 DEGREE AND IT NEEDS TO BE A 90 DEGREE ELBOW. SO I CALLED AEM AND TALKED TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE GUY, I FORGOT HIS NAME ANYWAY I DROVE TO L.A. FROM NEWPORT BEACH CA. 1 HOUR EACH WAY , TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT IT WAS THE WRONG PART AND THEY DONT KNOW HOW MANY THEY SHIPPED OUT THAT WAY. WELL AEM FINALLY SHIPPED ME THE RIGHT PART, I HOOKED IT UP, JUMPED IN AND STARTED MY 02 P-5, GOT IT OUT ON THE ROAD AND STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT FELL ON ITS FACE. DAMM ! WELL MY EXHAUST MUFFLER / TIP HAS A REMOVABLE INSERT , I PULLED IT OUT, AND IT RUNS GREAT. LOUD BUT GREAT. I NOTICED THE CAR PULLING HARDER AND LONGER THROUGH THE UPPER R.P.M. RANGE BUT THATS A TOTALLY DIFFERNT THREAD. F.Y.I. BOBBY

 

AEM only sent me 2 silicone "sleeves" with my kit. They 2nd day aired it to me. I also had to go to the local parts store because they forgot to send me a number 45 connecter. I'm very happy with the intake though.
