Did you have shipping insurance? That sucks if not. I'm going to put the AEM on my car if the wife doesn't go crazy again and try to make me sell it.

433 miles for shipping and it looks like it was strapped to the tire the whole way.

Not the best move on the shippers part not using an outer carton, but fed ex sure did f-up that box.

haha well im pretty sure it wasn't the packing because 4 of the air bags were popped and i tired to like bend it back and it wasn't working. something must have ran over or something heavy fell on it. Once i have the intake you guys will see it will look better then most aem's =)

Here are pics of the box and pipes before it was shipped. It also had pop corn and bags of air to keep it safe. I trust the packing.

Yeah Fed Ex fucked up major this time. I was super carefull packing it too, even double boxed the intake from getting crushed which proved useless. I bet something ran over it or something heavy dropped on it. I assure you I packed it better than when it came from AEM. Well I put a Declared Value of $300, I'm putting in a claim tomorrow.

Thats why you never use FedEx ground. FedEx express is better.

Damn Good. You still going to Hawaii? If so look out of me. I'll be there in Dec. Been busy deciding whether to go turbo or s/c.
