hahaha i've been planning on it...

everytime I come home and i see that can of plasti-dip in my garage i think to myself, "should iiii.....??"





----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


anyway...

So I picked up the AEM Cold Air Intake yesterday.... it was by far the biggest pain in the *** install I've ever done.

Disconnecting the bottom of the stock intake from the turbo inlet was my biggest issue. The stock hose clamp was facing downward. so I had to either use my socket wrench or a screwdriver to loosen the hose clamp... but since it was facing downward it was hard to reach and I couldnt see it... I just had to feel for it. And the bastard was way down in there. I'm 5'8" and I felt like I was 3 feet tall cause I could barely reach anything

There wasn't very much room under there either. My screwdriver was too long so it wouldn't fit, and I barely had enough room to turn my socket wrench...

all i know is i said, "**** this ****" like a 100 times... and after 3 hours i finally disconnected the bastard.






anyway, it's done :faint:

Now all you need is to slap on the Base Map (the AEM version). Quite a dramatic improvement from what I recall (it's been a while, ha).
Octane Blue is still my fav, love the color when waxed!

Nice! Yeah, I can't wait to get my tune

I'm building my catback either this saturday or next wednesday (just straight pipe, then split to two glasspacks out the back), then evox fmic, and the ams uicp/licp, and bov, then my tune

that it's loud. It's an exhaust that is definitely is not for everyone.

It can't be that much louder than my ams single exit exhaust.

looks the goods though

OherrOderr

O nice, yea I'd like to eventually upgrade the turbo as well.

Mostly just the noise. It backfires a lot too, especially if you accelerate really fast then let off you get a pretty loud bang

yeah, some hate it... but i like it. It gets old on long drives

hmmm... i've never heard the ams single, but i can imagine it being loud. i like the buschur cause it looks simple and clean, but definitely doesnt sound that way haha

thanks mang
