is this intake designed for the maxima? obviously it fits.

 

Nice, looks like the injen intake, only this is a 1 piece and the injen is 2 piece.

 

its made for the maxima, its on aem's website but it says comming soon. its dyno looks great. this is the cai to buy. finally the max is gettin some more performance parts. keep em commin!!!!!!

 

I like the fact the the air sensor gets mounted too the pipe and you loose the plastic piece, looks clean. I just hope they make the mounting bracket better than the piece of $hit job Injen did.

 

another one in the books.........

 

A gain of about 10 horses and 14 foot pounds of torque isn't bad at all. Now I just wonder what the price will be.

 

me want now......ugh...ugh....

 

10HP is that even possible from an intake, I thought our stock intakes were pretty efficient as it was. Not much restictive air flow and all.

Wow if thats tru.!!

The fact that it is a cold air intake makes a difference. I'm sure it was dynoed under optimal conditions in order to get the biggest gains. None the less, it appears to be a good mod. A CAI has been on my list of mods to make for a while now. Maybe I'll just have to be the ORG guinea pig on this one. Once I can get my hands on one that is.

 

Very Nice. Quite a few choices out there now. I like the clean one piece look of it as well.

 

Wow! Its about time.... It will also allow you to put a bypass filter in for those florida drivers who go through big **** puddles. Nice... Go to www.adventon.com, Cheapest place to buy any aem products just a Heads up. They dont have the product number yet but im sure its coming

 

I just got off the phone with Joji (ext. 204) at AEM, and he said the Intake, part number 21-549, was released today MSRP $372.50. They are produced in Blue, Silver, Red, and Polished. He stated the polished are not available at this time. He recommended me to TOYSPORT (323) 755-1177 and I just bought a red one for $280 with USPS express shipping to west Texas.

They only have a few left, so if you want one, you should act soon. Normal price with priority shipping was $260 total, but I wanted to get it before the weekend to install it. I will post pictures of the install when available.

By the way, I have been viewing posts for about a month, but this is my first post. So, hello to everyone and thanks for the good information (and laughs) so far.

 

You have a picture of the whole thing not installed? Just looks like one long tube bent in the middle. Some hose couplers and a provision for the iat sensor.

 

I also have the install instructions that were emailed to me from AEM if anyone wants them to see how it's designed.

 

TTT for more info on the AEM - looks good. Just glad to see somebady making more mods for the MAX

 

Wow, I want one! I first had an Injen CAI, now have a Weapon R SRI which is pretty good, but really miss my CAI. I'm considering getting an AEM CAI with a bypass valve and selling my Weapon R. Anyone wants it, let me know.

 

Sure email them to me.

 

I just installed the intake. I can't post the pictures though. Do I have to be a donating member to do so?

To answer a question that was posted earlier, it's a one piece intake and the MAF sensor actually fits into a specifically designed bung welded location closer to the Throttle Body.

The intake is definitely the sort of quality intake that I remember 6 years ago when I bought one for me 99 Civic Si. The plumming was well thought out and is understandable why it took AEM this long to release it.

"Seat-of-pants" dyno doesn't show much HP increase, but it was 87 degrees at 11 am in West Texas when I test drove it. It's definitely louder.

Maybe I can email the pictures to someone who has privileges to post them.
