The AEM Cold Air intake for a 2002 ZX3 at a decent price?

I've looked at a few online stores and the cheapest I've seen is about 289...is that the cheapest out there or anyone find a store that has it for lower?

Thanks for any help.

If I had a choice I would contact the man Tony D.

www.newedgeperformance.com

at least I think he has the CAIs.

y buy the aem, when u could do like many on here and buy 1 of the aem cai knock-offs (bombz i think, also sold by newedge) instead. much cheaper, think 100bux, somewhere round that.

aem is known to be good...so i'll just go with that...

I don't like getting things for my car that I've heard nothing about.

Wish i had the money to be able to spend an extra 150 bucks on a name

then read the reviews on the knock offs on here, think 1 of then is called the bombz. thats y u'll spend 3 times more? a name and a license plate frame? c'mon now. dont b foolish, look at the reviews on it, all of em have been positive. and y would a sponsor like tony at newedge carry it if it was junk? i dont have either of these intakes, i made my own. i've never bought anythin from tony like so very many have so i'm not hypin him up. just goin by the facts. payin 250-300 bux 4 a piece of aluminum tubing and filter over another thats 100 bux just b/c it has a 'name' on it is nonsense. save that ~200bux 4 another mod or 2.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">yeah really, wish i had 150bux period 2 spend on the car...i hope he changes his tune b/c i've seen alot of people like this in the bicycle shop who have 2 have a santa cruz full suspension bike where the frame used 2 cost bout 1500bux, when the frame is licensed out 2 a company called Access, they build em 2, and they sell the same frame w/their name on it 4 less than 600.

just 'goes' 2 show. or maybe 'not'.

289 might be the cheapest. when i bought mine it was 300 including shipping from modern preformance.

build your own CAI, Just $25 for the fiber glass and resin. another $25 for the filter. works great and sounds good. looks good too. just gloss black. built my own splash box too. no water on my filter. just outside air pulled from the side of the bumper.

I just ordered up a "Bombz" CAI. I'll let ya'll know how it works, fits, looks.

I don't know much about the Bomz, but I do know about the AEM.

AEM constructs their intakes utilizing a dyno to determine which length and bend formation is the best for producing power. I am more than confident that AEM's product will not only last as long as the car, but also perform flawlessly throughout its life.

As far as the price diff-
Our cars may be cheap relatively speaking, but I still value my 13,000 investment. An extra $200 on a reputable and proven part from a company with years of experience in racing and street use seems insignificant to me.

plus, who's kidding who?

what kind of market is a part named "Bomz" targeted at??? it should be sold in a package with two 12" subs and 19" chrome wheels yo!

 

[bartlomiej]

i got a bombz from tony. it is nice, definately worth the 120 i spent. why spend 300 bones on an alum tube?!?!
