Silver AEM intake install w/pics
another question...
w/ the bypass, does the sound(roar) deminish slightly over 4000 rpm,etc? .....i know w/out the bypass, the aem sounds loud..

what vendor did u get it from?

It is very loud! People along the road will stop and look above 4000 rpm. My major concern after I installed it is not really the need for a bypass but the fact that I can see the filter by looking into the vent on the inside of the whell well.

My check engine light came on today
Tomorrow I'm going to disconnect the battery for 10 mins. then reconnect it and see if that turns the light off. Well see what happens. It came on right after I filled the gas tank up so hopefully its because I didn't tighten the cap enough.

I can see that the strut tower brace was removed for the install, but afterwards did you think that it was necessary to remove it? BTW it looks real nice!

The valve was 40.00 extra. Worth the small investment for that just in case scenario even though I don't plan on driving on the beach or through streams. No cutting was neccesary. It fit inbetween the long pipe and factory air sensor tube pictured. OOOh I just remembered one thing....the one AEM sent me was two small on one side to fit. My installer had the next size up so he tried that one and it was to big on one side. In the picture of the Valve there is a blue piece of tubing sticking out just a bit. That is a little piece of hosing from a turbo which made it fit perfectly. Perhaps there is an inbetween size that doesn't require any creative thinking?

Also, when I compare the valve in the picture, to the valve sitting in the box, it seems that the valve in the picture is stretched out a little. Am I seeing wrong, or is it really stretched out? Is there a difference? Other than the density of the foam is reduced, therefore water may be abale to sneak in?
