cf lip question and CAI

[Rump540]

OK, I'm the newbie of the forums now ;) and I was wondering if anyone knew where to find a good carbon fiber lip for a 2003 civic ex? and also I wanted to know if anyone knew why a aem v2 or other CAI would say M/T only why would it matter whether its A/T or M/T?

welll i can answer you the question about the CAI: different engine layout. the mt will not be bent as much.

Would an m/t intake still fit in an A/T just not fit as well? or would it not fit at all...?

i cannot say i've ever heard a transmission affecting the location of a mass produced vehicle's engine, but I may be wrong. I never paid any attention to the differences in the labeling of the intakes as mt or at. hondamaniac could very well be correct, maybe i learned something new.

Hey people, ok so I called AEM to find out what the deal was and the tech told me that the CAI's didnt work well with A/T due to different tuning than the M/T's go through at the factory. He also said that short RAM's perform much better with A/T civics... ok I got the CAI question answered now who here knows where I can find a good carbon fiber lip!;)
