New AEM Cold Air Intake Installed
 
I just had my CAI installed this week. It looks and sounds nice. I have noticed a bit of a difference in pick-up. Does anyone else have an AEM installed? :)

i thought the power difference was like 2-3 hp... and not really noticeable... interesting you feel the difference... i bet the sound is much more noticeable though.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, im so jealous, i have been waiting and waiting and waiting for my intake to come in. i am a aem dealer, and i think my distributor just shipped it, i have to call to verify.

my car is in the shop getting a bunch of stuff done right now, havent had it since monday, most important thing was getting the a/c fixed and oil changed, should be getting it back tomorrow morning. also waiting on the hymee scanalyser to come, should have that tomorrow sometime.

i cant wait.

wait a second, you are in canada and you got yours before me, i hope it is a polished one, or i will be really pissed at aem. grrrrrrrr.......

I live in Kitchener/Waterloo and I can get the AEM CAI as well, but I am waiting for some dyno tests to be released on the aempower.com site. This is a big delema for me because im debating on the AEM or K&N typhoon. Don't think you could get any pics or sound bites of your intake could you?

Thx

It took 2 months to get it. I ordered it back in May. I don't have pics as of yet, but I will take some and post. As far as horsepower, I was told it was like 10hp (but now a days you can't go by what someone says) The noise is different to what I was used too, but it does sound nice.

P.S It is a polished one

i would be shocked if it was 10 hp. i bet sound is nice, and maybe a few HP.... i'll wait for some dyno sheets.

hell, i ordered mine back at the end of march when i got my car, and someone just recently got one of the polished ones, but i want blue, and they are having some difficulty filling orders. arghhhhhhhh.............

I got the K&N Typhoon ,some people say they lost power but I did not. No proof or anything but it sure does sound awesome when you get to the higher rpms....Lots of people ask if I got my exaust done.

canadian_8 07-28-2005 02:46 PM

^ sound is great, but i really dont think large gains (10 hp) is possible.

Save your money buy the Revi. BTW UPS charged me $95 in duties and taxes at the door...pissed off!

canadian_8 08-04-2005 11:27 AM

so avg hp increase is probably 1-2.

HELAS 08-18-2005 12:45 PM

the k&n one accually puts out 10 more hp
