Default AEM intake

i have a auto xb with the AEM intake, there are only 650 miles on it, when the motor is on idle, i see the engine and the intake shaking, not as quite as the collora. is this normal ( i heard the echo engine is like that also),,

i kept driving the xb under 60 mph hiway or local during this period ( only over 70 once), is this the right way to break in, ( i learn from my friend), when is the best time to do the first oil change? i wanna do it this weekend, caz i will drive to cananda next week,, please let me know,, Thank you

if I understand correctly... our engines do shake a bit but what really hurts the engine is when we hit the breaks. it causes the engine to shift forward a bit so Weapon*R is coming out with an engine shock to keep that from happening... Should help to keep the engine shake to almost nothing.

yes, the engine shakes a bit, the AEM intake shakes harder, is it the case?

Sounds normal to me. Mine does that. I noticed this back when my fog light started to shake when driving because the AEM intake was rubbing against it. It's a pretty small engine bay. :o
