do it, the car will be faster and you will actualy be able to hear the supercharger. An intake is one of the best things to do to an ss/sc as the stock on just completely sucks

whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine
Don't get AEM though. I had huge problems with their intake. Switched to K&N, got a new MAF sensor and things are all better now.

What were the problems you were having? I'm having some problems with mine right now. Basically rough idle when wet outside, MAF ******* up...yeah that old chestnut. I bought some MAF cleaner yesterday along with a new airfilter. And this **** only happens when it rains! haha

no problems with my AEM. love that thing.
depending on which CAI you get. about anywhere from 5-9 HP gain roughly
no point of pushing out more ait than coming in. so a CAI or ABM is a good thing. you willl def know the difference

When it would rain outside(even the slightest little bit) the car would sputter and threaten to stall out. I changed the intake to K&N along with a hydroshield and have had no problems....There was rust that was on my MAF sensor from so much water getting on it. I think that the placement of the MAF has a little bit to do with it as well. With the AEM it is a lot closer to the filter because it only uses like a 6" piece of pipe. But with the K&N I have the MAF sensor is a lot higher on the intake piping which I'm sure helps prevent it from getting as wet.

10hp maybe up top...I think it was 14 on the k&n typhoon. If you want big noise do a cai and/or adapt it to ram air (if you live somewhere fairly dry); but it needs to have an opening at the top (ie pulls air from the top as well). I have a short ram that I adapted to ram air and the sound is HUGE and under 4k it's near ambient temperature (which is closer to 50 degrees right now). Highest I've seen it is around 65 degrees regardless of how much I'm whomping on it. I used to have intake temps at around 100 degrees or more because it was pulling air from right near the engine; whereas ram air pulls from near the engine and the front bumper as well.

MAF placement shouldn't matter when it comes to water , a inch or two higher is still gunna get wet on a car that sucks air like a vacuum cleaner . I bought a hydro shield the day i purchased my AEM and i haven't had any water issues or sputter in the rain . Did you have a hydro S on the AEM ?

The oil on the K&N filter helps repel water , the cotton AEM filter is like a sponge . Thats why running an AEM CAI without a shield is going to cause problems.
