Broken Intake-Replacement *56K NOT Friendly

Because I got a couple requests for pictures, here is the gem I called my AEM CAI and the replacement by the BOMZ Short Ram.

*WARNING* Engine Bay is extremely dirty.

Engine Bay Before:


Close Up of Broken Intake:


Broken at the bypass valve, you can't tell too well but the metal is actually sheared at the end. Also, I didn't take pictures of the filter being broken inwards, and the side screw (to hold the intake in place) being completely ripped off, so now I have half a screw sticking out in my engine bay.


New Intake: BOMZ Short Ram. Review: It's nicer looking, has larger piping, and is deeper/louder at WOT, it's really not as bad as people buying off e-bay say it is, it's not half bad.











Thanks for looking!

nice 2dr. is it loud?

looks good. that sucks about your cai, it looks like just the bypass valve ripped in 2, but im sure its much worse. how long you thinkg you were driving around like that?

sadkorean34: nah it's not loud, apexi world sport exhaust is nice and smooth, not loud at all

Sketch o5: filter was broken in, ripped off the side mount, and the bypass you can't really see all the damage..i had duct taped it for a while more than what you see, but i had driven around for about 2 weeks like that

Ebay intake ftw!!!

Holy cow dude. I have NEVER heard of an intake shearing at the joints. That's pretty crazy. I'm glad nothing was sucked into the throttle body.

Yeah I know, I don't even know how it happened. Once I saw it though, I tossed out the ole' duct tape and patched it up temporarily.

i wonder if you've got a busted motor mount or what, i mean, how do you break an intake?

Personally, I'm thinking that could be a defect or something. I've never heard of that happening.
I don't see anything wrong with an Ebay intake. Just change the filter to a K&N

dude, u drive around with 18s in winter??? u have balls man.... sweet looking car tho.. dun think i've seen it b4

i have an AEM bypass valve for sale if u wanna replace it.... $30 shipped is all i ask for
