I installed my new AEM Brute Force cold air intake today, and am very pleased. Installation took maybe 45 minutes. The most difficult part was taking the temp sensor out of the old intake tube. What a pain in the butt!

After a quick drive around town, I'm happy to report NO WHISTLE, just a nice throaty growl.

As to performance, my seat-of-the-pants-ometer tells me that the AEM (along with the CoolTech MagnaFlow exhaust) gives a noticeable performance boost. Or maybe it's just that it sounds great. Or maybe it's that I'm just telling myself that to justify the expense. Or to justify the expense to my wife!

Too early to report on fuel mileage. Besides, my foot is on the floor most of time listening to it sing! I'm sure I've lost 2-3 mpg just because I'm a hooligan!

I like the looks. I like the sound. I like the performance. I'm a happy camper!

 

Your milage will get worse because you won't be able to keep your foot out of the skinny pedal

 

Congrats on your new Mod.

How didja get no whistle? Weird if ya' ask me, but my whistle from 'under there' kinda grows on ya'. Reminds me of a supercharger.

 

Who needs better milage when you have permagrinn!!

 

Don't know.
I didn't do anything special - just followed the instructions. But it sounds great!
