Has anyone had any experiences with the "new and improved" CAI by AEM, just curious.

 

Most of the guys I know are writing it off as a sham by AEM to make more money.

I doubt there'll be that noticeable of a difference versus the old AEM CAI (speaking solely in terms of power). Just from visual inspection the piping is a bit different; maybe they're trying to improve throttle response.

Shingo

 

throttle response is almost the only thing you can change when designing a CIA. but top end power will be about the same with all of them.

 

i posted about this earlier here and in the engine tech forum. do a little searching.

 

AEM marketing = :thumbup:
AEM products = :a: its practically the same sh*t as everything else

 

Werd....

It's just a damn pipe with an intake that is open and sits lower than your stock one.....It doesn't do much by itself to be honest with you.

Of course, you can do the budget way and go ghetto style. I once knew this guy who used some cheap piping from Home Depot to make his own CAI. It worked out pretty nice for him actually. Matt...where are you? LOL

You remember Recac, right Eddie?

 

actually my cousin works for aem, he gives me straight up answers... it works a lot better but for its gonna cost it aint worth it if you already got a cai.

 

Where is that sumummab*tch?

 

and of course his opinion isn't biased in any way.

 

But only aem has the hump...wonder if hte v2 still has it.
