anyone have a picture or know how the cold air is setup for aem
intake because theres some many different ways that the CAI
is set up for that car.

 

TCS2K,

From what I gather...the intake piping is routed between the radiator fans down to the bottom of the front chasis. Then it bends towards the wheel well and into the front bumper where the fake vents are.

The route is long and some low end is lost. But, because the intake will be free flowing...it will benefit the high end.

jschmidt,

My statement was made on grounds of comparing the stock box dyno to the dyno of the AEM and Injen cold air intake systems.

Comparing the stock dyno to the AEM and Injen dyno, the stock box had better low end, but the AEM and Injen dyno had better high end.

I came to the conclusion that because of the longer piping some low end was sacraficed, and because of the free flowing air filter location, there were gains in the high end. Is my conclusion erronous or can you better explain the dyno charts?

 

still no pictures of this I guess???

jschmidt,

Your theory is accurate bud! It's just that the comparison that I made was one with and without a factory airbox.

If it was possible to place the AEM intake in an a cold air location where the intake piping path is alot shorter than current design...I'm sure there would be gains in low end compared to the factory intake design.

 

Can someone please confirm/deny that it will look similar to Injen's setup seen here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...&threadid=23461

 

There is one picture of the AEM CAI on a yellow S2K in the latest Import Racer magazine. Latez!

 

Does anyone know if you will have to remove your bumper to change the air filter on this CAI? It has already been confirmed that this is necessary with the Injen CAI -- I don't know if 5hp is worth the hassle of removing the front bumper every few months.

Anyone know?
