[MrF]

I need a little help. I bought off another member a AEM intake kit and it is missing the Rubber Mount Bracket (The 3 hole bracket that mounts to the ballast) Does anyone have one they could trace out or give me the measurements of the holes so I can try to fab up a new one.

Thanks

Do you know which model AEM intake you have?

 

[MrF]

21-567
Its for the 04-05, but I am putting it on the 06 I know it changes the CARB legality of it all, but I live in AZ.

 

[MrF]

Anyone else?? I am hoping to try and install it today.

 

[Liesjemt]

Well, I think we might have the same CAI.

I just took some quick ‘pics, hope they help. (BTW my CAI has been custom painted -- it was originally yellow.)

Ya know your not supposed to paint a CAI black, it just sucks in heat at every wavelengh in the spectrum (IR anyone). Especially when they are that long and have so much time to absorb.

I bet it makes little difference though since the box is a front breather.

 

[Liesjemt]

Well, I try to learn something new every day.

Honestly, I haven’t noticed that much of a difference with the CAI anyway; it’s mostly for show. Hey I drive an automatic box. Its never ‘gonna get that fast anyway.

Oh, BTW it’s not black. It’s painted camo to match the exterior. (Though I figure most dark colors would act the same way.)

It only sucks it to the yellow powercoating though

I hear yah there. I always paint all of my crap despite heat absorbtion.

I always go gloss black on flat black. Usually all my parts are plastic though so they don't pull heat anyway.

Mmmm plastic. Nutritous.

 

[Liesjemt]

Did Mr F ever get his intake installed?

Well as long as we’re looking at the engine any thoughts for making the edges of the loom look cleaner? Mostly around the CAI bracket as seen in the second ‘pic. I tried some black electrical tape, but it didn’t stay. I’m thinking of getting some small wormhole style hose clamps and spraying them black

Pssst, don't tell anyone but you can use shrink tubing from your local electronics store.

 

[Liesjemt]

^^ You mean by putting a small bit on the ends and blasting it with a hair dryer?

 

[Genesis_26317]

Hey Liesjemt can I get a farther out pic your engine bay with the killer glass lit up?

I'd like to see the whole thing in the daylight if possible.

It looks purty from what I can see.

 

[Liesjemt]

Thanks!
I’m afraid I don’t have any good shots with the glass lit (I keep waiting to get some after a good wash). Here is a shot from farther back that I took the other night though.

If you would like to see a video of the glass lit check the killerglass section in the dealer’s links on our club site. (The address is in my signature.) svscions shot it the night he installed it.

 

[Genesis_26317]

Damn dude that is a nice looking box engine.


I like how you didn't go tacky with it and left it clean and subtle though at the same time custom and nice. The intake looks like it came from the factory. You definately get an A+ in my book and I am pretty freakin' critical when it comes to any car.

 

[Liesjemt]

Thanks!

I was trying to match as many things camo as possible. I stole the battery cover from svscions when he got a larger one. I’m trying to decide if I want to get it painted camo to match or go the other way and have the fuse box covers painted with the same waterspot pattern. I wouldn’t want to do anymore than that. I just love the confusion from folks @ shows that can’t decide if it’s real or paint. I’m thinking of posting up a thread with a poll.

Oh, and BTW, I’m not a dude

 

[infekted]

nice and clean engine bay dudet!

 

[ketchup_xb]

love the killer glass and a very clean engine liesjemt puts mine to shame with all the blood and stuff. and genesis if you wanna see one lit up ask kartel.
