I order an intake off line. It cost 100! It said it comes with .......

" Mandrel Bent Aluminium Intake Pipes tune
In legnth and diameter to specific applications for maxium power gain
k&n filter and hardware inclcued
Dyno tuned for maximum performance"

Ok so i get the package today and the only thing in there is the air filter! I email the guy
Hello... i got the Intake today but I didnt get the Intake Tube. I only got the filter. I dont think i should pay 100 only for filter. I paid for the Intake with the tube and you posted a pic with the tube. Please contact me back ASAP!

and he replys
Hi Josh,
Thank you for contacting 24ibuy.com

As our record shows, you bided on AEM part number: 22-521. We shipped you the correct item with the manufacture sealed package. The package shouldn't include an intake because it doesn't need an intake pipe for a Tiburon. Please check with the manufacture directly at www.aempower.com for item detail information.

Best Regards,
24ibuy.com


Do you think this is bull****?

yea, the same thing happened to me a while back. It showed a picture of the tube, and it even said "comes in blue, red, silver, black" I paid 80 bucks for it. I tried to fight it but it was finals week, so didn't want to bother with it. Just go CAI.

That's ridiculous.


Besides you can probably find used CAI's for $150-170...

yeah, i got took on that one too, except in the catalog i ordered thru( arospeed) at that time didnt say just fiter and bracket. so i assumed it came with a pipe till i called them on it... nope, just filter and bracket. they said that the short ram pipe doesnt make any more horses than just the stock tube...but i'll disagree, theres a HUGE difference. i made my own piping from a Civic tube and love it for a short ram. but cai is even better

That is crap if it was in the description saying you get pipe then you should have gotten pipe!!!( that did not sound good at all) Any who I would fight it and keep a copy of the sale and tell ebay and pay pal they will get your money back!!

Yeah you got taken by the false advertising...

You're not the first and definitely won't be the last....next time before you go to purchase something try and ask a member here that you trust if it is worth the money....most people here would not hesitate to help you with a qusetion like that.

This is why many MANY websites say "generic model shown, actual model may vary". It's a webmasters way of saying that the're untouchable :)

You bought the same AEM sri i bought. Do the same as me, order a real cai :)

Still too bad a reputable company such as AEM came up with this.












... at this price.

"It's a webmasters way of saying that the're untouchable"

Doesn't matter if the webmaster has some stupid disclaimer. Websites are required to advertise truthfully like everyone else.


For example, I can't sell my car saying "barely used, only 1000 miles!!!" and then expect to be okay by just putting in a fine print disclaimer saying "odometer claims may not be accurate.."

The way I see it... neither Ebay nor the seller will refund your money because they gave you ample oppertunity to ask questions. Why don't you post the link of the auction?

heh

he got the "pipe" alright,... ;)


sry, couldn't resist. Send it back man, even if it has been used, just clean it up real good.

If they say that the picture might not represent the product, you got nothing. If it actually says in the auction that you get the pipes, then fight it. If all it says is that you get the filter and hardware, you got nothing.

post a link to the auction.

Application: AEM Part #: 22-521 *
Hyundai Tiburon 2003 - 2004 V6 Only
*Package for AEM 22-521 Consists of filter and bracket only, not available in colors

Right there is where they got you. You really have to be cautious and read auctions over a few times. The seller really isn't being shady either. This is the actual SRI that AEM sells and I am sure he uses the same right up for all AEM SRI's for all vehicles, hence the "*Package for AEM 22-521 Consists of filter and bracket only, not available in colors"

Sorry bud

Well above that and in other locations it says it does have piping.

It contradicts itself. One part says one thing, another says something different. That is at best deceptive. Seriously, file a fraud complaint with ebay.
