Yup decided to go for the highly reccommended AEM with K&N filter kit. Its for about $290 I was quoted but think any of the places I called around for that price can get me one. I was told "Oh yeah, call us when you need one, we'll call them and they will have it here in a day, 2 at the most."Having bugged the place all day today, they still have not gotten in touch with AEM to get me one. I checked out another place and they are looking up price and availability for me and will call me tomorrow after lunch... if they remember...God this is frustrating. And added to that they do not list Pontiac Vibes. So I had them look up Toyota Matrix XR since its the same. I wanted one by the weekend... my project.

oh i see. a birthday present to yourself!

I don't want a short RAM though Sam, I'm after CAI, the long full air intake pipe thing. And the Matrix model is the same.

Sam,where do buy your short ram and what was the cost?What is the different between short ram and cai?

Thanks for the info. Another question,putting short ram or cai can help to have more mileage?Can provoque a negative thing to the engin?If i understand well is like putting a fan or a water cooling in the computer to help the cpu to not over heat.With this you can overclock the cpu.Maybe same for the engin,more hp,but for the cpu is not good for long terme.Maybe it is the same for the engin?Sorry,for my questioni'm not very familiar with this thing.I use computer terme,because i'm a big fan.Since i owe the vibe i'm become a big fan of tunning.Thanks guy's to learning me. Now the problem is to split the money on computer tunning and car tunning.

CAI the car, it will have more power to get you to the computer store faster. Ordered an AEM Cold Air Intake... we'll see how well the place I ordered it from knows their cars on monday when it is suppose to arrive. Guess its not this weekend's project. I'll manage it before the meet though.

well now you will have a fun weekend project for the next.

Need any help there Phil

I might! lol have no idea how to install this.

it's very easy to install. lancer has some great step by step instructions he posted in the HOW TO section.

I'll have to read it.

UpdateAfter specificly asking for and describing what the full cold air intake looks like, what do they order me? A short ram... So needless to say I didn't buy it because I do not want a short ram...

who are these people, and whhy do they have a shop?!

i know! and what kinda speed/performance shop DOESN'T know what a CAI is??? but glad you found an alternate solution. i'll help you install that baby at the meet unless you guys get it done fri morn before you leave! LOL

Probably will bring it to the meet and install there...And the "shop" yes laugh at me now... was Canadian Tire. You'd think they would know their own madly sold AEM K&N Products but once again I was proved wrong

Phil, this shop is good, gotta stay away from ordering performance parts from Walmart, I mean, Canadian Tire I'll pick up your CAI Friday or Monday and deliver it personally. How's that for service? lol

It must have been easy

Yet another thing Mike is fast at sure glad someone aims to please, its to bad the places making the money don't. You have money, want to spend it and no one seems to be interested in taking it for they can't get anything you want. whats up with that?
