Default Install AEM Intake?

I searched and found some info regarding this, curious about those who know more...

I read on the forums that after installing the intake you can bog at a stop when the engine is hot. Im worried about long tern useage with this in regard to water and added heat.

Curious if you guys think putting a cold air intake is worth it?

Oh dear "best intake" takes me back about 7 years:

You will see several types of intakes:

a. Replacement OEM filter. Washable is good. Lasts forever. Easy to clean.

b. Short intake. Filter under hood on the end of a tube. Easy to clean.

c. Long intake. Generally filter is behind front bumper. Pain in the *** to clean.

d. Hybrid cold air - short tube. K&N Typhoon for example. Filter in engine bay for easy access. Fresh air from behind grill.

Now that you have the facts make a informed decision.
