Hoping AEM steps it up and makes a nice Cold Air Box for the intake with pipe and not just a filter.

Hey Pekingduck, could you do me a favor and measure the hood and roof when you get a chance? Also, any idea of what kind or stereo harness you would need for an aftermarket head unit?

Off-topic, I know, but I'm curious: What the heck is that green car, sporting the C4 Corvette wheels?!? It looks to me like a Studebaker Hawk, which is probably the very last car I'd expect to see being tuned at AEM. Super cool.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say its a newer gen Subaru harness. The car is a Subaru.

I know there's a lot of requests here but I would appreciate a photo of the subwoofer wiring harness and plug. I'd like to see if it can be used to power an aftermarket sub and if it is preinstalled in all the cars.

sounds great for not being broken in all the way

i average 30mpg at 85-90mph 31mpg at 100mph for some odd ass reason in my celica gts ... :/

It suppose to be one of their bosses car, so he can pretty much do whatever he wants. It was pretty nice, but I limited on time with the camera.

How long does AEM need your car to develop the CAI?

Thanks for your updates!

Not sure if this has been asked (used the search feature already), but what kind of security does this car come with stock? Is it the regular toyota alarm that just honks your horn when someone hits your car or opens the door? Or is it non-security and only keyless entry? Thx buddy!
