RE: AEM Intake Problems
sure,
for starters,here is what i did, works great, i believe better than a so-called "cold air Intake" wth an open cone filter because it actually pulls air from outside instead of from the engine bay without puting a filter down near the ground. This is true cold-air intake and i highly recommend this mod and i love the difference it made, here is a link:

pretty basic but effective and with a k&n its even better. if you want more input from our site on this, here is where i posted it:

you can also build a "cold-air" intake with a cone filter from autozone, rubber elbows, metal clamps and rubber straight piece (for the initial piece to start from the OEM intake) and some PVC piping. not sure where is the best place to start your custom piping on a 2.0L but find a good/fairly easy access piece that you can fit a piece of rubber tubing and measure the elbows and piping you would need to get the filter where you want it. you can take out teh old airboxing cause it will most likely be in your way. Its easiest if you have the means to cut the pvc while building that way you can get it just right. but fit the first piece on and work you way with elbows and PVC to where you want the filter, this is why you measure first off as to not waste money on pieces you dont need. just clamp the pieces together as you go, this probably isnt the best description but the project shouldnt need much, its fairly basic. on my truck my tubing came directly off the throttle body, i dont think it matters how close you get to it as long as the filter does its job.
sorry im in a hurry to get outta here let me know if you need more explanation and ill help tomorrow (cough-go with the stock air-box cld air intake-cough)
good luck
