hey i just bought mine this morning for 269+18 to ship... from supercarauto.com... but dont go there because about 10 min after i told them the hi-port goes with the 91-93, and lo-port goes with 94... they changed that along with the price.... (269-329!!!!!!) good thing i got it when i did!

Damn its a small world, because I almost bought one from them this morning also, and when I called them they asked what it said on the web-site and I told them 329, but I told them that the night before I was about to purchase it form their website for 218.00 shipped and everything( i should have done it night before) but I decided to call them this morning and do it over the phone. I knew it was to goood to be true....nx2000racer, I must Have called after you got yours cause they were not going to give me the price I saw earlier on the website....They said it was a mistake on the website and that they were loosing money and they were changing things as we spoke. I was like come on guys just one more for me, and he basically said no in a nice way. I can understand I wouldn't want to loose money either. But hey I'm glad another sr20de brother got the last one. nx2000racer let me no how the install goes and the difference it makes.:p :p

well it was 269, but i think they screwed up and sold it to me for 195, + 18 to ship!! so... my total as of now is 213, and i hope it stays that way! sorry you didnt get it for that price... keep lookin on the net... i saw one price for 290 and free shipping... so expect to pay 280-290 (+shipping on some) and dont buy from those few sites that say 325 like this one did!!!! This place didnt have them in stock, so its going to be 3-4 days for them to get it, then another 3-4 for me to get it!! but hell, for that price ill wait!!!! ill let ya know how it goes!

dont know if you guys know or not, but the AEM is a 2.5" pipe and the HS and Place Racing are 3". We installed a AEM this past weekend, VEry nice quality, and it came with good instructions and lots of nice parts (battery relocation kit!) It is supposed to DYNO the best out of all 3. I think i paid like 175 shipped for my Place one years ago......

my bad, this install was on a 200SX, but its probably the same. it just moves the battery tray over a little bit, not in the trunk!!

No you wont need a breather. I did need to use a longer hose for the AIV though. Overall the installation is pretty easy, just have to cut that hole. Oh, you may also want to buy some new plastic rivets for the pastic wheel well thingie, I had to break some of them to get them out.

I don't know if they still have the deal, but a little while ago you could get the AEM CAI for $200 with free shipping at groupbuycenter.com (http://www.groupbuycenter.com/) . You should at least check it out though.

morepowerracing.com has them for 264.95 shipped. There application section looks messed up high-port and low-port seem reversed.
