like the title says, whats the pros and cons of a type s intake vs a AEM CAI..

Is the power the same, ive got the AEM right now and ive been pondering on getting the type s for a while now, if anyone has one or had one or both let me know your thoughts on it..

thanks

if you get the stock type s one id stick with the aem...unless you get the "jdm type s intake chamber." i had the aem cold air, ice man cold airr and the type s chamber and i like the jdm type s chamber and the performance is better. the chamber connects with your stock intake. i also liked the iceman a lot better than the aem caues after driving a lot...if you feel the iceman its still cool...but if you touch the aem...the intake is warm/hot.

 

aren't the iceman intakes made out of plastic?

personally i'd go with the type-s intake. looks real clean in the engine bay

ya i was talking about the type s intake chamber, i was just wanting someone thoughts on the subject that had one, how did the power band feel compaired to the AEM CAI.

ANd i did a search and it shows pics but no one reallys ever told the feeling or it compared to a AEM

 

what does the type-s intake look like?

 

the type S looks like an OE airbox.

the TypeS is supposed to be better for low/midrange as it doesn't rob the engine of low end torque like a CAI does. people that have them like them.

 

or if you can get your hands on one, get a euro-R intake. It's a funnel design with a larger piping diameter than the aem unit.
here's a pic of one with the mugen airbox.

 

does it give as much power as the AEM, or is it just that the AEM gives top end and the type s gives more low end..

also if i allready took out all the resnator out of the bumper with the little box, would i still need that or just the box that the filter comes in and the tube.

 

the mugen one looks nice

 

Is the Type S intake loud. I hope there is some kind of sound to it or do you have to take out the res to get any sound. Does taking out the res put you in danger of hydroing the car?

NO, u mihgt have to take out the resonator,but that will defeat the purpose of the intake. And NO to your last question.

 

I've heard of the ARM having a midrange "hump" on other cars, around 4-5k.
