Top-Notch Upgrade for My Performance Ride

As an automotive enthusiast, I was thrilled to install the AEM metal intake system. Based on my experience this product truly enhances the overall performance of a car. The installation was relatively easy and saved me bucks on professional installation .The intake system provided a noticeable gain in horsepower and throttle response. Its sleek and sturdy design is a perfect match for a performance car. The only downside I noticed is the increased engine noise. Overall, i highly recommend this…

Pros
  • Improved engine performance and throttle response
Cons
  • Prone to increased engine noise and may require occasional maintenance

Waste of Money: my feedback

Through trial and error I found that the installation process was difficult, with vague instructions and Compatibility issues. The only pro was a slight increase in horsepower. However, this was overshadowed by the cons, such as the loud noise and poor fuel efficiency.Overall, this product was a waste of money and did not live up to its promises..

Pros
  • Improved airflow for increased horsepower and torque
Cons
  • Potential for increased engine noise

Not quite for 2000 Golf GLS 2.0

I'm giving 4 stars because I really like AEM, not five because Revane said it would fit my 2000 Golf GLS 2.0 but it's not quite suitable. It's just a slightly wrong size, I think the correct size from the AEM website is 21-492, but I put it in and it works great, I didn't have to bend or adjust anything. I'm planning on getting a GTI anyway, so I don't mind either, just leave it until then.

Pros
  • Made in USA
Cons
  • unreliable
