does anyone know if the xB and xA's cai is the same as the tC's, and aprox. how much HP gain will the intake give me...

does anyone knows if AEM is goin to make V2 for tC?

probably isn't going to be the same... this is in the wrong place should be in a power hungry

Pretty sure it will be quite a bit different due to the different engine placement. The tCs engine is quite a bit closer to the firewall I believe, which also changes it relative position to the wheel well.

XB AEM CAI WHP gain: 3.13
TC AEM CAI WHP gain: 5-5.5 (so i've been told)

The only real difference is placement. Other than that, the two systems should be fairly identical. Hope this info helps!

wen is AEM v2 coming out?

My guess would be later this year, maybe by fall.

I got a reply from a guy in R&D on the AEM forum about their Cool Air System for the TC. He stated that it is waiting for CARB approval.

However, the K&N is CARB exempt because its for "off road use". Therefore, the K&N will probably have more ability to produce horsepower than the AEM when it is finally released.

i thought aem cai was finished?

Actually, its not exempt. They have to add that phrase b/c it has no exemption. K&N most likely will seek exemption (they have in the past, approval just seems to take a while). Until they get it, if they want to sell the intake, they add that phrase "off-road" use only.
CARB approval = CARB EO = CARB exemption order. What you are getting approved for is an exemption from the CARB law against modifying any part of a stock intake. AEM is most likely waiting to release the aftermarket version of the intake (if it goes to production) for other reasons (like agreements with toyota).
