yes you will be able to switch but like I said..you might run into the same problem I had. Just make sure you tell your supplier to check the sensor brackets on the arm. Tell him/her to make sure the two holes are close enough.

because they are not made to separate. I believe AEM only comes as a CAI. You can make it work if you cut your own piping and then connected it with a rubber sealant.

yup.. the piping on aems is just one piece unlike the injens it comes with two pipings.. and yeah if you probably cut it like what domo says then youd be good for sri.. and just get those rubber stuff just in case you want to go back to cold air..

because its not like injen where the first piece is short enough so there is enough space to fit a filter between the pipe and the wall
