Could a dent on an AEM CAI effect its performance. I will take pics in a few days. It isn't horrible, but its not a ding. Just wondering if it will greatly affect flow. The car feels the same

You might lose like .03hp. I wouldnt worry about it if it isnt bad.

 

watch out dude! the NOS will blow your car up if you got a dent on the intake like that!

 

Oh shut up Soup.

 

Depends how bad it is. A little one won't be bad.

 

actually i dont know about that i think a tiny dent on it is gonna stop all flow of air completly. If you want i can fix it for a small fee of your 2 front seats and ill give you my stockies . Just ****** with u jon, how the hell did u dent ur intake anyways?

 

 

haha, it shouldnt make much of a difference at all

 

how the hell do you guys know what it does when you've never experienced it or measured it? man is this place toileting faster and faster....

 

I've had dents on my previous AEM CAI, some scars and other stuff too. Never noticed a change in performance and did not even know they were there until I removed it. I seriously believe that for a dent to have a drastic effect on performance that the dent would have to pretty deep to obstruct air from going towards the TB.

 

haha

 

I dented my Comptech intake tube, and it has made no discernable difference in performance. Comptech will be happy to replace the tube for $125.00 if knowing there is a dent in the intake tube gets too much for me.

 

The dent/hole in your CAI will prevent your engine from hydrolocking.
