The little mounting bracket on my intake broke off. Broke right at the weld on the pipe. Now the pipe has a hole in it when the weld was. Anyone ever have this happen? Im wondering if AEM would replace the thing. If not i wonder if i can just get the thing re-welding and hope the new weld covers up the hole in the pipe. Any suggestions??

Mine broke too, but fortunately about 1/2" from the weld. I took the pipe to a muffler shop to weld it back on and about 3 weeks later it broke again. I just leave it like that for now. But a muffler shop should be able to fix it, ask them to make a thicker custom bracket for you so it won't happen again.

Way back in the old forum someone had this problem and took it back to AEM, and they replaced it of no charge. Give AEM a ring and see what they can do for you. Not sure what their number is though....any one know?

-K-

The rubber mount for mine broke in half last month. I called them and they replaced the mount under warranty. Here's the number: (310) 484-2322

Yup that was me...mine didn't rip a hole in the intake though, so I guess I was lucky. Give them a call and see what they can do. I had to bring them my intake to show them, and I had the older style CAI though...good luck.

Well, looks like AEM is great customer service wise. Gave them a call last night and they were willing to take it back. Gave me a return number and address where to ship it. Don't know if they will just fix it or give me a whole new intake. We'll see how that goes.

WOW!!

If i knew it, i'd send it back heh..mine broke right at the weld too...

Did they ask for proof of purchase (i.e. receipt?)

They did redesign the pipes for this reason.

The new single-piece pipe I have uses a rubber attachment point so the intake can flex with engine movement.

Call/email AEM and let them know of your troubles. Unlike a lot of import parts companies, they stand behind their products. Feel free to mention 2gnt.com.
