AEM Brute Force intake

Installed my new AEM Brute Force intake today and I have to say I am pretty impressed. Fit and finish was very good, didn't run into any problems with bolt holes not lining up and the connectors were all easy to work with. It looks killer in my truck. Performance-wise, I noticed it right away just off idle. I was just backing down my driveway and lightly tapped the gas and she jumped more than before even though i just blipped the throttle to get her rolling. Once on the street I pulled out of my neighborhood and got onto a main road where I hammered into it. The truck definitely has more power in low end and you can tell it opened her up a little more than the K&N drop-in I had. It sounds much better now too. No whine or whistle like some I've heard, just a throatier overall sound. Have to say I am completely satisfied and would definitely do it again. :loser::loser:

I can't write enough positive comments about the AEM Brute Force intake 21-8000P I just installed this weekend. $240 thru an ebay retailer and 30 minutes to install. I'll have to wait for my foot to lighten up before I can report on any mpg gains. 9/10 on install, 10/10 for sound and looks! :seeya:

I'm glad to hear this about the AEM. Maybe it was just good advertising, but it would be my pick of all the intakes to buy. It just looked well made and very functional, and it sounds like it is.

 

Thanks for posting the info.

How much louder is the intake in the cab? I don't mind a louder engine within reason. But I put a cold-air on my Nissan and it resonated so bad at certain RPMs that it would make your ears ring.

For being a cold air intake, any concerns about the metal housing heating up the air? Its also on the top o' my list, but thats my concern.

Is the tubing continuos or does it have the rubber gasket in the middle like the ones in the pics on Ebay. Got any pics of it installed? Which Ebay retailer did you get it from? I found this one on Ebay just now and was wondering if he was any good or not.

I put an obd II scanner on my truck a couple of days ago with the aem brute force, and my air inlet temperature was the same as the temperature that my mirror was reading for outside temperature. Anytime you can do this, that is an awesome set up. You can tell a little difference in the sound of hte engine but it is not bad. It's not annoying or anything like that.
