AEM/MS Intake just installed... impressions
Hey guys,
I finally got around to installing my AEM cold air system. All l can say is, WOW! Power wise, can't really say l'm noticing very much, but the sound is incredible! Installation time for me was just over 3 hours, also there were some differences between my car and the one in the installation guide provided by AEM (I don't/didn't have a VFAD??). Still, if you have some common sense about you, it's easy to do. Anyway, for anyone out there looking for an intake, I'd suggest either of the AEM or MS products. Cheers. |
Does it have a crappy sound at 4k rpm going WOT?
Because I heard one of them and wasn't sure it was the AEM and made a real shit noise at around that point. |
do you have the low power engine?
i believe it didnt come with vfad. |
someone may have just had it removed already. are you the first owner.
i love mine ... especially at wot. i don't see much 4k, so don't know about that. haven't noticed anything. it isn't really noticeable until 5.5 or 6 anyway. |

You probably have a 4-port engine which didn't have a VFAD.

I love the AEM!!
Has anyone seen a water shield for the AEM filter, it's bound to get water in it in the rain? |

Has anyone been able to dress up the engine bay with the ms/aem fitted. I don't really like the "gaps" it leaves...

I went with silver to match the strut/radiator cooler, agreed red looks hot though! |
I went with the polished silver as well, love the way it reacts on throttle. I noticed that the engine stays so much cooler without the stock air box as well.

I should have some info next week. It will replace the air box under tray and have sides and a lid. Totally custom. You will like. :D:
not sure what you mean for the lid tho...I just want to get rid of that plastic tray the stock airbox fits in; something aluminum that covers the hole |
