- Has a proper seal to the factory intake snorkel unlike the Injen.
- Easier to install than the Perrin unit.
- MAF sensor flange is tucked away from the elements inside the heat shield.
- The filter itself is much larger than the AFE variants.
- AEM dry filter is very convenient. No oiling.
- MAF sensor looks like it's got some engineering behind it's configuration and associated air fins.
Very clean looking unit that answered all my gripes about the other units on the market now. Having said that, i'll still wait for some independent dyno testing to pull the trigger.
P.S. The exhaust looks like it should be a winner as well. It's using the same configuration as the Perrin, Isis, magnaflow, and TRD... the first three which showed gains across the entire rev range in Dsports exhaust shoot out (TRD was not part of the shootout).

I'm pretty sure the picture of the MAF is the picture of a stock MAF piping outlet, NOT the AEM MAF design.
