I just spoke with Mitch over at AEM. They're expecting to have the finished intakes ready to ship within a few days. They are available in silver, red, or blue. I opted for silver since the red is not the same as the red on the valve cover and the blue just doesn't really jive with anything else on the car.

Anyway, for those that haven't seen the dyno sheet yet, here it is once again:



Here's a smoothed version of the plot, to make it easier to see the gains:

I hope I get mine in time for the weekend so I can install it and takes some pictures.

Strike one for "You can't dyno a cold air intake."

Don't know if that is necessarily true. Sure it's no wind tunnel but if you put a large enough fan in front of the intake position would this not be a reasonable indication of what might happen?

Please note that this isn't actually dynoing the intake's capability of drawing cold air per se (though I am assuming that a fan is being used on the dyno)

What it does dyno is the effect of a change in the length of the intake tract.

Unfortunately AEM and Injen alike simply use whatever length tubing it takes to get the filter into the wheel well - this has worked well for teh bseries engines - but again not a "true" tune.

Also for those intending to duct their brakes (which i feel to be more important) - this intake may get in the way - correct me if i am wrong Rev.

I'm going to look into it this weekend and see if there's still room for ducting, but yet - it will make ducting a little more tricky.
