ebay scam - AEM CAI - Honda Prelude Forum

vile10 · 11-03-2002, 06:23 AM

the one in the picture just doesn't look like AEM to me in anyway, the pipe looks too short, the filter's not right, the couplers are blue.... the whole thing just looks like a cheap intake

correct me if i am wrong, cause i think this is a scam

you must live on EBay, looks pretty right to me, the filters change all the time, some have a chrome top, others the recessed top so i donno, looks like a AEM with the bottem pipe missing

Not true. Earliest AEM CAI was two piece.

Anyways it could be just a standard pic, and not they 'actual' intake

concLude · 11-03-2002, 09:41 PM

yeah mine is two piece, so this still doesnt answer the question, i think it looks real, I SAID LOOKS

That does not look like an aem filter. i think they have had 3 different styles and i dont think thats one of em. They dont come with blue hoses and such. hmm....

that's what i am saying, i want to buy but i dont' think it's real AEM

if its an aem, thats a short ram intake in the picture. thats the same color they have for the red. so it looks real. my cai came with a k&n filter though.

this is what my aem cold air intake looks like:

Oh yeah i forgot to mention that it looked like a short ram. also, were is the carb legal sticker?

hey vile...what year is your car? ive got an AEM CAI im selling....let me know if your interested...its silver....peace

Satan_SRV · 11-04-2002, 12:58 PM

Why don't you just e-mail the guy and ask him if it's the actual pic, where the carb stickers are blah blah blah? Jimminy Jillickers!

Padge · 11-07-2002, 10:34 AM

i also dont think it is real. I have a red one and (unless the picture did this) red looks nothing like that. Secondly, he never took the backing tape off the AEM decal that is on the pipe when he took the pic.

Padge · 11-07-2002, 10:35 AM

oh and there is no mounting arm on it that my AEM CAI came with.

Look at the sticker REALLY closely, looks to me like it says aeN.
