i have done a search and i have got amny anwsers some i'm not understand. for one i am building my s2000 performance totaly from spoon. i want the spoon stb but i have been told by many it will not fit an aem cai. but i did a search and i fouind a few post of people who made it fit? what i would like to know is can anyone tell me if the spoon stb can be made to fit with the aem intake other wise which stb's will fit? thank you

 

If you're "building my s2000 performance totaly [SIC] from spoon" then what's the AEM CAI doing under the hood?

 

i bought it right when i got the car and it works pretty good so i don't see the reason to spend another $400 for the spoon airduct but everything else is going to be spoon.

 

I hear JIC and Muz fit with the aem cai. I'm going JIC!!!!

 

i would prefer spoon of course over anything. i have talked to someone who is very knowlegdeable and they also said it will work but it will be a very tight fit. which is fine to me i'm not worried about putting anything under it. but i would still like to talk to someone who has done this or tried.

 

The Muz STB fits perefctly over my aem

 

Spoon won't fit. Can it be made to fit - sort of. I had it and I had to depress the CAI where it met the intake manifold. There was about a 1/8-1/4" displacement. I drove around with it for 2 days. When idling at a light it felt like the car was struggling to get air and wanted to stall. At driving speeds had no problem. Also, shifts during driving and will scratch you AEM CAI. I read somewhere on the board where Spoon was coming out with a new design to fit the AEM on the S2000 - not sure if this was fact or fiction.

 

THERE IS A WAY!
I have the Spoon STB and the INJEN intake, which should be the same as the AEM intake in the area of concern. Even if you get the STB on over the intake, that doesn't mean you're good to go. When you turn the engine on and give it some gas, the engine twists in its mounts, and the intake lifts slightly, causing it to hit the STB, slowly wearing away a little hole on the intake.
The solution I came up with was to add a couple of washers at each bolt under the STB, effectively raising it about 1/4". This gave me enough clearance between the STB and intake so they don't hit each other during normal driving. I've had this setup for 4 months without a problem.

i'm pretty sure the comptech stb will fit if you can't get the spoon one to work...
