It turns out that mine was for a 88-91 civic . And now Importhorizon won't replace it with the intake I ordered (I even checked my receipt to make sure I didn't accidently order a Civic one). So now I have to order a real Prelude intake again

I am going to get www.importhorizon.com back somehow....

I emailed them and if they write back i would like to have your name and what not so they can refund it

Trying to help u out

Aaron,
Also just to let you know. That customer contacted us 3 months after he
had the intake. He needed to ready our return policy. He did not fulfill the
return policy in any manner (I.E. Time, Quality of resale able intake etc)
We hope that he understand this

Any1 know where i can get it for cheap in CANADA??

ice1cube · 01-28-2002, 09:15 PM

how come the intake still fit your car if it was for a civic?

also, how come you didn't see on the cover of the instuctions packet that it was for an 88-91 civic......i was going to order from importhorizon.....but now im not so sure

I think u should order it from them anyways

They r legit and the guy waited way too long to return his intake. No wonder why they didn't give his $ back. I know they messed up but u had to realize that u got the wrong intake

ice1cube · 01-28-2002, 10:39 PM

i mean.......they couldn't have separated the intake from the instructions right? so the directions should have said on it.......88-91 civic......or did they somehow put prelude instructions into the civic cai box?

Hmm thats odd, my car with short ram,18's and exhaust keeps up with cantdrive's car with cai, exhaust and header not to mention he doesnt have huge rims.

ice1cube · 01-29-2002, 12:14 AM

you can't really do a test like that and base the gains of the respective intakes based on those vague/shady results...its been consistently shown that the cai gives more gain over the short ram....nd realistically/practically it's feasible

red98lude · 01-29-2002, 11:15 AM

I'd get it from importhorizon, that's were I got mine and my friend did too. Neither of us had any problems with them, the shipping was fast, and the price was great.

PREYLUDE · 01-29-2002, 11:34 AM

I'm selling my 1 month old AEM CAI w/BPV for 190 + shipping. I have everything that came with it. Its silver and its in new condition.

PREYLUDE · 01-29-2002, 06:49 PM

The AEM CAI costs 200 plus an additional 40 for the bpv, which is 240.

I'm selling it for 190.

i never asked you to buy it.

Wow, thanks a lot man. The whole time I was installing this civic intake in my car I was like "This can't be a lude intake, this can't be a lude intake"

But the instructions were for a lude and since I am not that mechanically inclined I thought that maybe it was just my installation that went awry.

I guess it is my fault for finally realizing it was a civic intake too late. I'm sure this was an honest mistake on their part, and even a dumber mistake for me to not realize it was not the right intake. Import horizon was nice to deal with, but once you recieve the so called product they don't want to deal with you anymore.

One thing that gets me in their email to you is "(I.E. Time, Quality of resale able intake etc)" OK I get the time part, but "quality of resale able intake", WTF were they gonna do ?resale this thing?

If importhorizon was smart they would've paid the what- 100 bux for the dealer cost of an AEM or however much and just sent me a new one, the right intake. Instead they decided to say "screw you". And in the end they lost 195 dollars to the person in this thread that was about to order one. And they lost the business to one of my friends that was about to order one over the phone, and who knows who has read this thread.

Can I take them to small claims cour or something? It sucks arse to have to shell out close to 400$ for the right intake.

Oh yeah the prelude intake I ordered was $187 and the Civic intake is $179 I think. I think that entitles me to $8.00 that they overcharged...

ice1cube · 01-30-2002, 12:23 AM

how was the civic intake different than lude intake? too small?

fourthgeneration · 01-30-2002, 12:28 AM

too small, looks smaller in diameter, and barely fits (it's a miracle I got it on there).
