That's my car, what do you mean too short?
That's a full pic of the intake installed. There are no extra parts needed for piping or couplers. All you need, that most (if not all) people that get the AEM have been missing from their kit is a vacuum cap to plug a nipple after the stock stuff is removed.

No actually it has good air flow, and it pretty much has the same results as the Racingbeat REVi intake w/ duct..... No need for bypass valve because the filter is about 3 ft off the ground!! for there to be any engine damage the filter needs to be fully submerged, but you have to be an idiot to drive into 3 ft or more of water...... plus the dealer has said that if you add bypass valves and start tampering with the stock valves and tubes, piping that your warranty would be void.....

well my good friend who works at a mazda dealership and I basically installed it, and I'm not sure if we removed the vac line.... but basically nothing has happened :knock on wood:... maybe its not entirely necessary? on his old 8 he had the AEM then went with REVI w/duct and he didn't have to put the vac cap on... hmmm
