Can I make my AEM CAI an SRI??

Can I just attach the filter from MY AEM CAI to the end of the first tube and use it as a SRI type intake. PLease disregard that mumbo jumbo post that looks similar to this one. I had some keyboard problems. Thanks.

the whole point in a 2 piece cold air intake is so that in the winter you can make it a short ram...
as long as its a two piece you can do it.

Well I did it and there don't seem to be any problems at all. I drove around for a good amount on the street and highway. Here is a pic to check it out.

do you have to get a different size filter or anything to fit the upper pipe.

The AEM filter fits, but I bought that blue filter to match the intake tube at Pep Boys. The car runs the same exact way except the sound is slightly not as deep.

AEM says you can, but I don't see why you'd want to.

Because I was driving in the rain the other day and I saw a few puddles that would have definitly submerged the filter. Untill I have the money for a bypass valve, it's better to be safe than sorry.

I know that their is no CAI for the auto trans. Their is an SRI for the auto trans. I don't know if AEM makes an SRI, but if they don't and you really want an AEM, you can always buy the CAI and only use the upper tube. Hope this helps.

i got an aem cai and because of to much rain where i live i changed it over to a sri and it works perfectly. i went out and bought the bypass valve but unless u got the tools to cut the pipe to make it fit its really not worth it . it only takes me about 10 min. to change my intake back and fourth .
