WOWza.........Kinda hard to Believe!

 

Not really AEM Intakes have always made great HP.

 

not CARB legal so i see people staying with Injen

 

I am sure carb is pending but I would need to check with AEM on that...

 

Injen isnt CARB legal either....

 

AEM is really good about releasing CARB legal stuff. I figure it'll be legal within a few weeks or maybe a month or two.

 

thats a big jump in hp. and like teecizzle said, its a little hard to believe. i see the dyno chart but i would have to hear it from owners driving in real world conditions rather than a "lab test"

i always take those with a grain of salt since some like to exaggerate their performance increase

 

read the bottom of the image

"*Legal in California only for racing vehicles which may never be driven upon a highway."

and i am aware the the injen isn't CARB legal either, but more people have used and dyno'd with those than the AEM

 

I dont think intakes for the tC can be CARB legal because they all result in the removing of the carbon filter that in the upper half of the stock filter box

 

That could very true. I think some of the earlier years are carb legal.

 

i would just change the injen filter to an AEM and call it a day.. its the same dam tubing size and shape.

 

Well AEM does not do lab tests they do dyno testing on a mustang dyno. I don't think that AEM would advertise fake numbers. I am sure if you dyno a TC it will be close to what they claim and that would just depend on what dyno you use and if it is set up right.

 

isnt that the same thing as the TRD?

 

i think it is.
go to scion.com > "tc" > "personalize" > "accessories" > "performance" > "trd cold air intake"
and the pic of the intake has AEM on it

link to trd intake

 

way to post up the press release with jobber pricing on it they do have one you can post with MSRP pricing on it if you ask

 

forgot to mention:
the trd comes with a bypass valve though. and when you buy the trd cai it says "TRD" on it, not "AEM" (i have a TRD cai on my tc)

 

I don't know of any dealers that use MSRP pricing... Most companies go off of jobber. I just looked in the new AEM price book and they don't even list MSRP. It just has jobber pricing in it.

 

the fact that its a higher % in air flow is because the filter is not oiled. obviously its easier for air to flow through on a dried filter compare to pre-oils or oiled filter. AEM piping is no different then other pipings, just buy a filter not pre-oiled and same results; "increased air flow"

 

I have injen cai so do you think its worth it to switch over the the AEM dry filter ..
I would need the 3" one correct?
