Installed my GSR brakes, and new intake combination

Your opinions? http://www.auburn.edu/~breweje/Pics/Intake1.jpg http://www.auburn.edu/~breweje/Pics/Intake2.jpg OEM airbox on AEM tube. I still need to trim the tube another 1/2" to get the airbox to bolt in at stock location. I'm going to remove the AEM sticker and paint the tube black. K&N drop-in filter in the box. IMO this looks much cleaner than a cone filter and it's quieter. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emsmile.gif UPDATE, finished pics: http://www.phear7imports.net/gallery/albums/Brewer/IntakeDone.jpg http://www.phear7imports.net/gallery/albums/Brewer/IntakeDone1.jpg http://www.phear7imports.net/gallery/albums/Brewer/IntakeHigh.jpg The box is much quieter and I noticed no power loss on the butt dyno. The sound is great and VTEC crossover sounds better IMHO. Also: Ignore the filthy engine bay, it will be cleaned next week when the new motor goes in https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emwink.gif Modified by BrewerHatch at 7:40 PM 8/6/2004

Did the AEM tube fit right into the air box or did you have to trim it out a little? looks really nice by the way

unfourtunately there is but it looks a certain way people some people are into

I just bought an SIR intake arm and box for mine, but when I get more serious and build another engine for it that will be replaced for an AEM CAI

Brewer: You're better off with a stock intake tube (if you have one). The AEM is metal and conducts heat, while the stock rubber tube hardly does.
