Hey guys, I thought I'd share some pics from my install today.








If I can get my hands on a video camera, I'll post some sound clips. Although I'm pretty sure, people are familiar with the AEM sound. In any case, it was a pretty painless install and the resultant rumble when I hit the gas is very satisfying.

 

Looks like the engine bay needs some cleaning lol

 

Just curious,

Why did you have the wheels off and the crush bar off? Did you have some other stuff going on at the same time?

 

Dang that's dusty.

Most painful part of intake install.... removing the stock intake box

 

Yep, no offense OP.....but I would've steam clean her while I had it that far apart!

 

good intake but a very dirty engine ftl

 

I thought my engine bay was getting pretty bad...but dannng!

Umm, I think you have the two rubber couplers on each end swapped. Note the top and bottom couplers:

 

+1 ^^^^ he does!!!! I've installed 2 different AEM intakes on my car and both times I didnt have to take off my strut bar.... Did you get bored or something? And +1 get that engine bay steam cleaned ASAP! Other than that.. congratulations and nice clean garage you have there

 

good job some nice pics you got there

 

steam cleaned? there is so much dust on there I would say go to the store and get some Pledge or something TROLOLOLOLOL

 

OMG that is filthy>>>> Clean that crap....

 

Canadian winter makes for a dirty car. It's a monumental task as you can see. I'm thinking this winter to park it and clean the **** outta there.

Also, with respect to the couplers, what's the difference? It seems fine as is.

 

Hey, sorry to bring back such an old post but I had the intake installed, I have the couplers swapped as well, was this ever an issue?

 

Lol blast from the past! I sold that car almost 5 years ago.

If memory serves, the couplers were not an issue.
