Auto Exe Air Intake

[Loose]

Well...

cuz the other prob that im running in to is the fact that aem's cai doesnt work with the atx version of the mz3. so thats y im looking at the exe

...the Injen is the only application for the ATX on the 3 at this point for UNDER $300 USD. The AEM is for the MTX only and I was unaware of a SRI by AEM but someone on this thread said there is one. My 2 cents are the CAI is the only way to go on the 3. The temp in the engine bay gets to hot to show gains w/ a SRI. That is why the CAI is such a prevelently produced aftermarket mod. Da6 has a SRI/CAI unit. By adding a long pipe he is able to assess both units. You may PM him to ask his opinion re the SRI vs. the CAI.

To summerize: get the Injen for the ATX. IMHO it's the way to go, just don't drive it into your pool.

Wow, that looks very nice, not worth $900 IMHO, but you got a steal.
I certainly wouldn'tmind having one of those... I guess I'll have to start trolling ebay again!

Awesome deal, Slade! Good job, man! If I put an intake in there the Auto Exe is the one I'd want: it just has that OEM look about it that I want. Have you thought about dyno-ing it? Have you noticed any gains in performance?

 

[STi-Mulation]

Oh, it is used stuff, however, I must say that it is an amazing price. Even if it was used. You got a hell of a deal there....

im actually thinking about dyno-ing it some day, my friend thats big into imports said that now that i have both the intake and exhaust done i need to tweak the computer a bit to really see that difference. I have noticed some gains, the guy i got it from actually had both the Auto Exe and AEM intake and said the Auto Exe did better on the high way. I still havent had time to take it out maybe this weekend i will.

I bought something from that guy back in June. Don't remember what it was, though. (scratch)

 

[Slade_300]

it was the AEM intake, he sold it cuz he had an atx so it hit the bolt, then he got this and sold the car a month later.

 

[Slade_300]

*was it the AEM intake
there we go

 

[goldwing2000]

My intake does indeed have the tell-tale gouges from the ATX, so that must be it.

Thanks!

Auto Exe will show most of it's gains on an off road vehicle....the design is for a true ram air IE removal of left headlight assembly.
