Well I finally got my CAI from AEM the other day. And today I installed it. Check out the pics. So far from my little test drive....I am loving it. It looks a bit different than the Injen, and install was cake.
I absolutely love how mean it sounds once MIVEC kicks!
Installed the Speed Source brass shifter bushings while I was under the hood too....crisp shifting .

 

totaly awesome, how much was the AEM?

 

Looks good!!!

 

Thanks..... The AEM is $265. I got free shipping from the place I ordered it from. Seems like $265 is about the price everyone has for this. I know it is a little more than others....but I am somewhat of an AEM fan.

 

Yeah ive always liked aem more than injen. But in reality, they are pretty much the same thing except for the looks.

 

i just like the position of the maf..... on the injen piece you have it quite close to the tbody... there is perfect for a nitrous app..... at least for my taste is quiete good looking....

 

This is true. Just a matter of personal preference.

 

Can it be converted into a SRI and can you use a bypass valve on it?

 

You can use the bypass valve, but cutting some of the pipe is involved.
I'm not sure about converting to SRI....seems like if you took the down-tube off and put the filter on the shorter tube that the filter would be real close to the valve cover. For the SRI's I have seen, the filter is positioned more behind the battery.

 

Ok thanks, yeah was just wondering if it's designed like the injen one,

 

looks better than the injen imo

 

They look pretty much identical, the only difference is the MAS placement.

 

Does that have a CARB number yet??

 

Looks really nice. I installed the Injen and the sucking noise becomes really noticeable around 5K rpm. How's the AEM sound?

 

Yeah I like the powdercoated red more then the Injen one.
