Do you plan to try and log the car or anything to see if it is detrimental at all, or just going for the sound?

Yep and K&N says that you can get mad HP just out of there filter also. Im not really into believing everything written out there. To each their own.

I hear you on that , but I've had K & N systems on a naturally aspirated car and had gains. I dont expect gains on a turbo car , but I do expect wooshing a and rbv sounds. I love the rbv sound , I wanna feel like I'm driving a turbo car .

Thats cool man. I totally understand. And the main thing is if you are happy with it, dont let anyone take you down for it.

REDCHARGE · 07-30-2008, 11:14 AM

I just got the intake today , I wil post pictures asap!

newtothegame · 07-31-2008, 03:24 AM

Sweet.

REDCHARGE · 08-02-2008, 11:20 AM

So the install was about a half hour , and its a bolt on intake , with all the usual whooshing and RBV sounds like a spt intake , heres a few pictures , and also my rally armor mudflaps and HID low and high beams coversion. Tomorrow I will be hard wireing my Valentine radar detector into the cigerette lighter and installing a prosport boost gauge which the car really needs for monitoring purposes.

Looks really clean in the engine

bay can we get some driving impressions? Are you planning on tuning? Seat of the pants dyno results?

dumdum · 08-03-2008, 08:37 PM

Maybe it will work as good as the Agency Power one you bought....

REDCHARGE · 08-04-2008, 08:29 AM

SPT and AEM got together and actually made the intake . This intake is the same lenth and width as oem , and yes it deinitely works better than the agency power intake , the agency power intakes require tuneing .

Are you saying the AEM intake does not require tuning? Also, where are you at in terms of the alleged 36HP 35TQ gains
