they run all their dyno with the hood down.

Used my FRS too- they actually used a few members cars for development cars so i have faith that they have done their research. They def treated me with respect and were transparent about what they were making and doing with my car so they have my respect

...unlike the shit experience i had with another company *ahem* magnaflow *ahem*

what? How did you afford your car then? Aem i think is pretty average in cost.

I would use it only if they had a tuned map for it.

I haven't looked into aem in a long time I guess but back when I was 16 the aem v2 for my prelude was like 325$ which is a lot for a 16 year old

All product do claim gaining ++Hp, but true test come out some lost !
If anyone has some real dyno test please show it for some reference that would be great.

forget that intake, that rear diffuser is sexy as hell. Is there anymore information on that? If there is one mod that I REALLY desire it would be a diffuser just like that. Any help would be appreciated.

- Clean stock looking heat shield unlike the air raid.
- No ugly, turbulence causing, sound tube opening to have to plug like the Greddy/AFE/Takeda.
- 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.

AEM posted on their FB page that the intake is available now.

Nice find.. What exactly does this ETI module do besides allow different MAF placement? (found answer see below)

I think the MAF in the AEM intake is on the same spot as the OEM area.

That makes the use of the module more interesting.. From AEM's site..

"These intakes were designed with AEM's ETI module which electronically adjusts the MAF sensor to properly read air density..... "
