I'm not sure if this topic was covered or not before, but if I get an AEM CAI for my 99 camry, is that all i need, or do i need to pick up the bypass valve as well?

having a bypass valve depends on your driving conditions, most people dont feel the need to have them, i believe someone has had messed up his engine because of water getting into the CAI.

Unless you have alot of rain and drive through 2' puddles, it couldnt hurt having one i guess.
It doesnt rain much here in LA so im not going to have one yet. maybe later, but its not a priority.

wow.. i didn't even know AEM made anything for the 99 camry...

war0827 if you get it post up some pics...

how much is it?

all i got is the INJEN intake

Click here for the AEM CAI

It cost $239 plus like an extra $50 for the bypass valve

You think that's too expensive?

It's expensive to me.. but I'M A CHEAP ASS

so it's really up to you, if it's worth it to you then it's not to much but if you don't really want it's a lot.

I don't think that is a Cold Air system they are selling b/c this is the only system for a camry.

BILLSHEA99 · 03-26-2004, 02:25 PM

which brand is that???

Warped · 03-26-2004, 03:09 PM

The one Hollywoodcole was referring to was AEM

BILLSHEA99 · 03-26-2004, 03:53 PM

Thanks BUDDY..

Warped · 03-26-2004, 07:39 PM

I dunno if the CAI is genuine though. Like Hollywoodcole said, the AEM webpage doesn't list the Gen4 4-cyl CAI as ready yet...

battlekat49 · 03-26-2004, 11:10 PM

the aem cai has been "coming soon" since october and according to the local aftermarket car parts place i go to they said it should be released in april since thats when manufacturers release all their new products.

war0827 · 03-26-2004, 11:12 PM

maybe the sight is for pre-orders. either way, i might get the AEM when it does come out, whenever that might be.

Any thoughts on AEM over Injen? Which do you think is better?

Hollywoodcole · 03-27-2004, 12:11 PM

Yeah I would go AEM over Injen, if AEM would ever come out with there cold Air. But i'm sure its gonna set u back $300 or more

richcam · 04-11-2004, 05:55 PM

its gonna be about 250 for the aem , but dont knock injen , i have the injen intake and i believe its one of the top intake manufacturers out there i know people with civics and othere cars hat want my intake
