I have one of the old gen1 AEM CAI on my '00 Accord the grey model, but mine was painted body color red long ago. Any how I also have the gen 1 by pass valve and today after working on the wife's TSX with my brother-in-law we took my Accord for a test spin. And when we got home and looked under the hood the Bypass valve had snapped off at the Norton clamp into two pieces.

Needless to say my AEM CAI is now worthless since I have nothing to keep the two ends together. I may just junk the entire setup, I'm a bit disappointed with AEM at this point. This is the 2nd repair to my bypass valve after an NHTSA recall for a clip to retrofit faulty foam inserts.

So I may end up either just installing the OE intake or an Injen unit as I've been a bit disappointed with my AEM since day one. My disappointment has always been with fitment and build.
