I just googled it and found some listed for "2006-2009" ap2. It was around the $380 range.

I got mine from heeltoeauto.com I think I even got a coupon code that saved me a few bucks more.
The only difference between the different model years that I know of is that the AP2 version has a bung for the IAT sensor, AP1 got the sensor in the intake manifold.

How do you like it? When I read the reviews some people complained about fitment issues and noises. I really like the way it looks. I know there is little to no gains with it I'm just looking for something that's easier on the eyes and has a better sound than the oem one.

Fitment could have been a lot better, I needed to trim the lid and ad some rubber washers to get it to sit ok.
Nothing too difficult but still a bit annoying.
Sounds really nice and it looks much better than that huge oem box

Pretty sure CT Engineering is also known as CompTech Engineering. Strut bars are mainly show items, if you want something for performance, I'd suggest looking at sway bars

Comptech went out of business and was purchased and reopened as CT Engineering. I know this as I had to track down parts for the old Comptech Brembo Kit and called CT Engineering for information and they gave me that explanation of the companies history. They make the same parts and are basically the same company but some of the old comptech parts were lost in the transition (like the brake kit).

As for the difference in parts for 00-05 and 06-09 the drive by wire cars have an extra hole in the intake tube as there is an extra sensor or something. Personally I would just call CT and see if you can order it directly. Otherwise I am sure Kamispeed, Moddiction, Gotuning, Evasive or one of the vendors on here can order it for you in the model year you need. Here is the pic of mine with the GP strut bar.

Great info.

Could you also provide us with your overall impression of the intake?...Thanks
