I'm pretty pleased on how the intake came out. Check it out.
1. Check breather hose location on the intake system, no MAF contamination.
2. VSV has a sturdy mount.
3. No rubbing or contact.

For all you Injen lovers all I have to say is this...why??? Here's the love they show the Mazda owners You gotta see this

when did this come out? :?:

 

You should be able to order it. It's the $200 AEM intake everyone seems to be referring to. I'm just letting everyone know it looks like. :wink:

 

so I'm guessing this is a shortram?

 

so if you order a new scion with the aem intake, which one do you get? this new one or the old one?

im interested

 

I'm guessing they will call one the CAI and the other the Shortram or something to differentiate them. I'll bet Scion will stick with the CAI just for the safety of the valve...

 

Both intakes can take a bypass valve.

 

Some people characterize an intake on where the filter sits. They both sit in the same location.

Some people look at the intake pipe length. This intake is not as long as the prior version, its shorter.

I'm not sure what it will be called but its taking cool air from behind the foglight area.

 

it's a CAI Short Ram! Looking at this, I can't understand why the others didn't make their Short Rams goto this location... strange. I want one for 110 please.

 

Looks like an Injen Intake knockoff to me

 

weapon-r intake goes to that area behind the fog light.

 

looks a lot like my K&N Typhoon

 

look more like a modified AEM CAI...seems like they cut the bend and attached it straight to the throttle body. what ever it is I wanna see a dyno run on it....


thats a pretty neat idea...does injen have something like that too?(the metal plate...its shiney LOL)

Just my 2 cents,
Hubert

 

I'd like to see dyno results (same day..comparable times...unlike K&N's 3 days and 19 hour difference)... Is it part of their "V2" line of intakes? Does it fit on the xA (____, does the K&N fit on the xA? the injen doesn't...) We need pics of the whole thing...not installed =P Hook it up SoCalbBox!

 

This design is similar to the K&N and Injen. Why AEM waited so long to release this intake prolly has something to do with the intake they have with Toyota, who knows.

So if the K&N, AEM and Injen intakes are so similar which one do you choose?
Pro's of the AEM:
1. Breather hose location
2. Ease of installation
3. Bracket location near the filter end to eliminate the filter moving around and hitting the foglights
4. All the parts fit correctly without any rubbing.

I don't use the other two intakes, so decide for yourself.

 

I have np dyno'g my car...again or lending the intake for a dyno.

It is not part of the V2 line. This is an xB app only. The other AEM intake fits the xA.

More pics coming...

 

utter lameness!

 

what's it look like from the top of the engine bay? I'm lookin for that show plus power look.

 

looks like they took the filter placement of the Injen/K&N, and the mounting/breather hose ideas from the SPFR intake, and rolled them into one :?

the big question will be, does this one make any more power than the previous AEM intake?

maybe someone should do a new intake shootout

:twisted:

...or maybe not...heheheheheh!
