cracka-@$$-cracka · Jan 10th, 2005, 03:30 PM

Does anyone know whether or not the AEM CAI for the '04 will fit the '05?? I have called several places today and been told it will not fit.

It should...I didnt think that differences existed between the 04 and 05 but I havent a FSM for either to verify.

hey Alfzong, where did you get yours from and how much was it? The cheapest I could find was about $260.

Do you still have this? How much? What kind of shape is it in? Also, why are you selling it?

Thanks!!

get one off ebay for 50 bucks, they have a 3 inch diameter and made of aluminum but they work. just get some heat wrap.

no, DO NOT buy a cheapass intake off ebay that will likely blow your MAF.

2.5sentra03.....chill. Don't make any more posts like these. I'm giving you the warning now. Don't take it lightly.

As said they dont work. They will but they wont. The filters are generally butt cheap, the craftsmanship is mediocre at best and worst of all, the mounting hardware is absolute crap. If the CAI shakes around, goodbye MAF as said earlier. Hotshot and AEM have done quite a lot of research on the placement and mounting design. There is a reason these units cost more. The Hotshot is T304 stainless and they do excellent welds. My Hotshot has held up well. I have seen Hotshots that are quite a few years old and they have held up well also. You get what you pay for, and exceptions to that are scarce. If you are on a budget, get a Place Racing CAI; they went under and there is a huge group buy on them.
