Take your driving pleasure up a level

INSTALLATION IS A BIT MORE DIFFICULT THAN I THINK BUT IT ONLY TAKES APPROX. 20 MIN. MY 2020 MALIBU LOOKS GREAT AND SOUNDS COOL RIDING ON THE ROAD NOW.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Update available

Need to modify air intake

Impressed with how good it looks and looks but not impressed that it fits my car and then have to cut open the box to close the hood so keep buying it work to get it and be ready when you think

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad

If you're thinking about buying, just buy. I promise you it's worth it. Can't recommend it more highly if that's what you're looking for. You absolutely need a dedicated AC/PCV removal tool (be afraid to house a multi-colored packet with a finger tool hinge attached), or you'll spend days trying to get it free. The heat shield is not seated properly and the hood does not close fully. However, once you get past that headache, I promise you'll love the results of this eating system. AEM is what…

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Works but must try

The first rating was as follows: 1 star was given due to many installation problems. Manufactured at the factory but most parts do not match. The wall doesn't fit in the car (okay don't…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

Very good but with some quirks

I love this air intake, I used to have a k&n air intake and the oily filter was causing problems with the mass airflow sensor so I had to remove it and buy a new mass airflow sensor. I received this a few days ago. Installing a small ratchet with 10mm, 13mm and 15mm sockets with a few basic tools takes about 20-30 minutes. The hardest part of installing all of this is removing the PCV valve from the old intake. This requires some elbow grease. But with the right removal tool and some very…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
