This intake is state of the art development for our fine friends at AEM. This is a real nice intake system. It does have clearance issues with some stress bars. Additional clearance can be had by shortening the intake at the turbo attachment by 3/4 inch.

AEM pioneered the Cold Air induction system for sport compact cars. Our air induction systems create more power than any other systems of their kind. AEM original Cold Air and most Version2 (V2) induction systems relocate the filter outside of the engine compartment for a cooler intake charge, and our Short Ram systems are an economical underhood alternative to our Cold Air systems. We have found that inlet length plays a vital role in the power production of V2 systems and not all V2 induction systems relocate the filter outside of the engine compartment. In these cases, extensive temperature testing was performed to locate the filter in the coolest area of the engine compartment to achieve the lowest inlet temperatures possible.
