Just a random question I've been wondering for a few months now...

But can an AEM b16a2 short ram intake work on a 99-00 d16y8? Don't ask why because I don't even know lol. I've always wondered that though. I know one difference is the EX ( d16y8 ) intake diameter is 2.5" and the SI ( b16a2 ) is 2.75", but can it work?

 

Will work fine, you'll just need to clamp the coupler on the TB a little tighter.

 

That's what I figured. Since there are 3 holes on the intake arm on the y8, and 3 on the b16a2, I figured it should work no problem.

I was asking because it appears my 2.75" short ram generic intake off eBay makes a louder throaty sound than my buddy's 2.5" aem intake. I see more used SRI's for b-series than d-series being sold so I figure if I can ****** a used AEM b16a2 intake, I'd go for it. Just wanted to make sure it works.

Thanks .

 

noise does not mean power.

But just making sure for others to reply, b16a2 aem short ram will work on a d16y8?

 

yes, it will work as said earlier...

 

k I was just making sure. Doesn't hurt to get a few other replies to get the extra feeling of assurance .

Thanks guys. Now to hunt down 1 of the billions of intakes being sold for b16's right now.
