New AEM Intake (RED) Installed!! (56k Warning)
Here is my progression through the installation of the New AEM Intake for the TC. I got mine in RED and the installation was very very smooth, very well designed and manufactured parts!!!
UPS ARRIVED!!!! YEAAYYYY
Very Well Packaged
Whats in the Kit
OK here we go, my engine Stock!
Start of disassembly, took cover off of valve cover
Removed wipers, cowl cover, and strut brace
Partially diassembled driver side inner fender and secured out of the way
Removed stock Intake
Removed stock air box and installed rubber mounts for new intake (included in kit)
Installed new boot and loosely installed new intake upper tube (thing weighs next to nothing, and the paint looks awesome!!)
Shot of new intake through fender
Lower tube installed
New filter installed
Mass Air sensor, vacuum tube, and sensor bracket reinstalled
Everything buttoned up!
Everything reinstalled
Logo/plaque on Intake!
This kit is very well put together and fairly simple to install, and it looks awesome!!

are you sure about that? I read that it is NOT carb legal, and i checked their website and it says it is not 50 state legal. http://www.aempower.com/product_intake_app.asp

Not sure I will be really able to tell muc of a difference anyway, the TC is not what you would call a power house so, but if I do notice anything at all I will be sure to post it. I would be curious now to have my car dynoed just to see where it is actually at.

You should notice the power gain. It's rumored to have more power gains than the injen. You should feel it most @3K RPM.
How's the sound?
I'll be getting mine in and installed today (blue), so I'll post pics and give you word on everything.
