i read this from another post by Pickledoe and Renesis who have an AEM:

"I have found that my car seems to be hesitating when i first accelerate and then kicks in after a few seconds. "

"I have the same problem when I installed my AEM SRI. Somebody told me because the intake pipe is too short. A short ram will help you a lot at high rpm like 3000+ but it will take away some low low end torque. For city driving, low end torque is more important..."

any body else have this problem???
 
When you put an intake on your car, you gain a little hp, but you actually LOSE a little torque. Just keep the revs up! :)
 
das waaaaack

shouldn't it benifit both hp and torque since it's an aftermarket product?

no. not all aftermarket products are for HP and TQ gains.
 
i've put in a ractive intake... yes.. i also feel the hesitation... then i read somewhere about them duct tubes.. put them on and yes they do work^^ @ least i felt it... a cheap ghetto way... about 10-20$$cdn is more then enough..

cool air from outside goin directly to the filter instead of having it suck the hot air from within the engine~~
