AEM intake issue
my car bogs down or acts funny at high rpm
i just had the coils changed and the cat is not clogged
so i am thinking its the AEM cold air intake
do you think switching to racing beat intake would help?????

He's had the intake for awhile, so I'm pretty sure its installed fine. Mike, if you still have the old intake, try installing that to see if there are any differences.

the reason i say its the intake is because i just had the car at mazda and they did a full inspection and replaced the coils
the car is in top condition
i dont know what else it could be

If my car was acting up I'd
Check the airfilter for to much crap
Check if all the intake runners are opening
Check the maf for dirt/oil/crap
If that didnt do it, I'd unbolt the cat and take it for a spin.
If that still wasnt enough I'd try to check the fuel filter/pump.
If none of that did it I'd start looking for a good shop or start reading up alot.

or a clogged filter since it's going off at upper rpms. Cleaning their latest filter, which is the DryFlow, is easy. The older style filter I know nothing about. I think it was oil based like a K&N.
A new DryFlow filter will run you about $70 from Summit Racing, Jegs, etc. if you want to upgrade it; 3.5" inlet x 9" long
only other thing I can think of is the internal intake runner flappers aren't opening up

thanks guys
the car did have a CEL but then the dealer changed the coils and its gone now
i am putting the stock intake on tomorrow to see if that is the issue
i called the dealer and they said the cat was not clogged but i dont know if they really checked when they serviced my car

stop flooding ur engines
you can manually command any port to open. the VDI, APV, and SSV all can be opened and closed manually thru a computer, like say, the computers they use at mazda dealers. but, if u walk in and ask to have the intake ports checked thatd prolly be the first time they were evr asked that.
