Aem 41-1406C Intake

[PilgrimIS]

Hello all,

Anyone installed one of the AEM intakes on their 250?

I've done a load of research on the available intakes, including K&N Typhoon, Blitz, aFe & Greddy... Plus obviously the AEM.

The AEM suits me from price and performance, however just wondered what others thought about it? I know they can only be imported at present and have one coming but always happy to listen to others thoughts ☺

Cheers

i got a 69-8701TP K&N kit, it looks fantastic.! its meant to be specific fit for the is250 also, the big box got all the fittings, i will get it installed when i get time.

I think when the time comes I'll be going for the F Sport intake from the USA, a friend has one and rates it highly. Looks great too!

Nearly went for the k&n, however the open cone oiled ones are not too good in our uk climate from what I've read. Their main issue is that due to the damp they get clogged up pretty quickly and their airflow reduces dramatically as a result. I've used the filters for a while mind you.

I did think about the F Sport induction but as it's closed it doesn't create as must of the sound as I want... They sound better when mixed with ss exhausts which I'm not doing... Well yet anyway!

I've got a delivery date for the AEM so in a couple of weeks I'll see!
