Hello guys well finally I get One short ram air intake by AEM the diameter is the same as stock pipe 2.5”, I I'm very skeptical about this it's just a shine pipe with cone filter I just installed and I can't feel any big difference just different tone , but I notice one hole it's bigger and won't fit in one of my hoses, easy fix just don't have the time now to do it so I decided use the stock pipe with the filter cone fit normally...... what you guys think any issues running like this ???

 

You're not going to feel any real difference with just an aftermarket filter. Butt dyno maybe, but realistically it's not something you're just going to feel immediately if at all.

 

Ditto the above^^^ a short ram intake isn't going to do much more then sound different, maybe a tiny bit more torque, not really noticeable. 94

 

Well like I said before it's the same if a running stock pipe with the cone filter a mean it's the same diameter 2.5" stock and aftermarket pipe

 

Like you said before? What's your actual question/concern here?

 

Velocity stack, add a cool looking hyper blue filter to it too....

 

AEM Dry Flow filters have the velocity stack built into them.

OP as others have said, you won't notice much if any power changes, just sound changes when you go wide open throttle.

Using it on the stock pipe is not going to aid anything as it's more bumpy so even more turbulent than the smooth wall AEM short ram. I believe the boundary layer will be thicker on the stock pipe than the smooth wall AEM short ram pipe, but the difference should be pretty minor I would think. The real benefit is the filter itself with the built in velocity stack.

The difference will be where the torque/power band resides and you won't really be able to find out where the shift was without dyno testing before and after.

Even then, to get the most out of the mod, you typically need to chip and tune the ECU to take advantage of the different air flow patterns.

 

PERFECT ...... YOU HIT ALL THE POINTS I NEED TO KNOW...... im about the fix the oversize hole ...... from the AEM pipe. also the pipe and the cone looks really simple nothing especial i get that for $30 bucks on craigslist maybe fake??? the cone has the emblem AEM and the pipe has the sticker

also about chip..... can you share some more info about it.... i saw so very dirty cheap chip pretty..... 1- 0 complaints prince range 30-50 made in usa guarantee

im not about racing nothing like that but some extra horse power won’t hurt ......




NOW MY CAR RUNNING LIKE THIS

 

Just getting a chip isn't going to be helpful. There is so much marketing crap out there getting you to buy products for no real improvement, just claims of improvement.

Chipping is only beneficial if you are going to have the car tuned.

And I will tell you this now, you will spend about 100 bucks on a quality chip job, and then another 500 dollars minimum on a tune.

Add in the normal 100 dollars for the AEM short ram and filter and 200-1000 for the Header and exhaust depending on the brand and quality you buy.

Then after tune, you might see an additional 10-15 wheel horsepower. That's about it for the near or over a grand of money spent.

In all honesty, modding a D series motor isn't very cost effective. The cheap mods can make the car sound cool, but really, that's about it.
