Pretty much the same identical car except the front bumper and maybe parts of the interior.

Cold air intakes may differ since they run underneath the bumper skin. Clearance under the bumper skin can very well differ from the BRZ. Just speculating.

Incorrect. Exact same engine. Exact same intake path.

This I already knew. I'm talking about underneath the bumper where AEM puts their cold air intake filters.

The OEM units generally have an efficient design; anything to extreme might throw off the response. Try something like a improved torque box.

The bumpers will have the same mounting points. Won't be any different.

SkullWorks 03-15-2012 03:56 PM

you guys,

Come on this is AEM have you looked at the troubles they have gone through recently to provide HP gains on the latest cars, going so far as to create an electronic filter of sorts that intercepts and modifies the MAF signal to prevent the ECU from auto correcting any gains that maybe made in airflow into the engine?

Most if not all Aftermarket companies are looking for one of each car to test all the products on just to be sure that they don't have to pay return shipping and piss of the customer base. the differences are minute but they exist, and proper R&D means you look at the whole data set not just half of it regardless of how identical it may be.

I'm not sure what you're trying to argue here, but I'm talking about CLEARANCE UNDER the bumper. I was speculating they may be different and saying they'll be the same would also be speculating.

It is the same exact car. It will be the same between the two. They won't differ.

Thanks, you are probably convincing AEM right now that this community is even less capable of intelligent conversation than Zilvia.

Tranzformer, have you had both bumpers off and upside down in your lap...didn't think so so drop it, there is potential, you cannot speak definitively you are only being argumentative.

There are different lower bumper treatments, different fog light options and different vent shapes,
