Hey Guys,

I see a number of cars with no heatshield over there aftermarket intake. I have an AEM Intake and was wondering if it will hurt not having that heat shield on their. Let me know. Any advice would really help!

 

I want to buy it from you if you are not going to use it.

 

Why not keep it there? AEM is the only (i believe) intake right now with a heatshield with their intake. Only helps not hinders...

 

even on the cold air intake for the OZ?

 

What is your logic for removing it? It sure seems like a benefit to me. Not only does it provide a mounting surface for the snorkel, but it acts as a shield from some of the heat from the nearby exhaust.

 

True! That is why I posted this thread to find out why some companies do it and some don't offer a heat shield!

 

heatshield is one of the reasons why i got my aem intake

 

Deceit, is your MAF sensor underneath your Suction Cone (intake)

 

nope. I found it easier just leaving it on the top. Haven't had a problem yet and I know many people as well.

 

Cool. do you guys have that plastic air inlet on or off that dumps air directly onto the intake. I appologize for my miswording, I just can't think of it!

 

the scoop? leave it on. just helps bring in more cool air

 

That is what I thought. Does anyone know if RMR C.F. Hood Scoop clears the AEM Intake?

 

Hey guys, I also have the aem intake. It is somewhat a ***** to install, but well worth the effort. i think the heatshield in the aem system is inadaquate. Im talkin to a friend and he can hook me up with a custom heatshield for the aem intake. I'll post some pics when I get it installed. late

 

Heatshield from AEM inadaquate? Hardly. Yes, maybe it can be improved upon, but for the money and what you get, it really can't be beat. I believe most other intakes out there cost about the same, but come with 1/2 the R&D, Perfromance and Parts.

AEM is the way I'm going... that is untill, the Injen unit comes out...

Do I smell a VTA BOV pipe???

 

I hope so.
