AEM ETI Intake System
 
1 Attachment(s)
Just noticed this photo of the AEM ETI Intake System. It has the same proximity of the MAF socket to the airfilter as in our Stillen SC kit.
Gotta wonder if any one with the ETI Intake System can comment on whether it has the same troubles as in our kit.

i've already ordered a pair...64mm 3/4 inch thick. They should be arriving this week.

No issues with mine AEM.

Regarding my drive-ability issues as previously described. Stillen believes they have a fix based on the symptoms and the Cipher file I sent. They are working on it and say they should have a solution shortly - more later.
Osiris - let us know how the air straighteners work out.

Someones modified his Y pipe.. Its got 2 flat plates welded into the intake side. Looks like who ever had the kit before him had issues too, and tried to fix them. I don't think he will use the air straighteners.

Man all that work pulling the front apart.. Damn..

I bought my kit new, so it came like that. I just never saw it because the dealer installed it originally

so, basically i couldn't install them because....well, just look at the above pic.

Okay, So that must be part of Stillen's solution to the problem in addition to the shield.
I would have been seriously irritated/pissed off, as I am sure you were - I can only imagine the silent (or otherwise) stream of invective that discovery must have caused.
Unfortunately there were no available pics of the intake tube ends like the one you posted. Hopefully you can label it so an image search for "Stillen supercharger CAI" can find it.
Stillen's proposed solution has to do with air recirculation in the emissions control system. It won't help with California street legal cars but it might benefit you as you live in Florida. They are testing it now, I hope to hear from them this week.

Not all of them have this....Nut_N_Much's Y pipe is completely open, no lateral fins like on mine.

So, is your kit brand new? If the kit is just out of the car for mods, what year did you order it

Mine was used and sat around for 2 years on some guys shelf.. It is a V3 SC the older ones are V2's. My Y pip is completely open.

I have looked at some cast aluminum 8 inch tubing. I was thinking of chopping it in half and welding 4 inches to each side to extend the intake side of the Y. KellyeFields made a nice shield our of some flat sheet Aluminum, I might do that to if the factory shield isn't working. Will bring it to the Dyno.. I cut out the fins inside of the front bumper. I got nice access into the that area.
