Install took me 2 weeks. NOW THAT'S GOT TO BE RECORD!!!!!!!!!!!
The intake was missing a pipe and AEM had to ship it to me. For that time, I had an Injen filter on it running the system as a SR. MAN, that was loud and no noticable difference driving. Anyway, I got the part and got the thing installed fairly easily. (Taking off my front bumper that first time took me A WHILE, but after that it only takes like 5-10min).

Driving impressions:
According to the butt dyno, the rate of puckering of the anus tells me that I'm making 10 more hp (yeah right)!!! But seriously though, she seems to have a little more pull in the upper rpms. As far as loudness goes ... it's loud. But no where close to that SR setup I had at first. This CAI on the 8 isn't THAT bad ... with the windows up. Windows down and I definitely can "hear it". Especially after 7000rpm. But considering what everyone has been saying, IT'S NOT THAT LOUD. Compared to a lot of cars I've heard, it's not too bad (I've heard S2Ks and STis sound WAY louder than that). And if your not WOT it's almost like it's not there. I used to have an SE-R Spec V with a Nismo CAI and that thing was way LOUDER.

All in all, I think it was a good purchase.

 

buzzy sound start at 3rd gear low rpm
and
aem install manual sux!!!!!

 

cool, we should meet up sometime and compare notes on the intakes (I have REVi + air duct )

 

Only if you suck.

I found it incredibly easy to follow and straight forward. What exactly was the issue for you?

 

Does the intake make that humming sound @ idle?

 

Nothing too noticeable, especially inside the car.

 

you should go through a tunnel or underpass at WOT with the windows down. aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh......heaven

especially at higher rpm

 

You can't here it in the car. But standing in front of it, it sounds like a cross betweena jet and someone beeping out a LOT of curse words.

 

No prob, just pm me. Still haven't got my window fixed. Insurance won't cover it (dang it).

 

 

what a breath of fresh air ...

 

my aem hums pretty loud.even inside with windows up its still noticable

 

How loud is it compared to the K&N typhoon Type I ? Mine sounds like a vaccum cleaner with the hood up.

 

From what I've heard K&N is the loudest.
