AEM or INJEN INTAKE
I've dont some research and AEM only sells a short ram intake and INJEN sells a cold air intake for a '03 MP5 A/T. Which intake is better for performance? Any other suggestion on performance parts would be great, such as headers.
Thanks |
Both will give minimal gains. Personally, I'd choose the short ram. It's easier to install. Also, you have easy access to the filter. That being said, I think the injen looks nicer.
|
Thanks Esteban Toledo, but do you know if there is any real difference between those two?
|
The general consensus is that they'll both provide similar gains.
However, some will argue that cai is better. Both injen and aem have dyno #s for their intakes on their websites. The injen's dyno , however, was from an mp3. |
Do you know any other performance parts worth buying?
|
Intake, header and exhaust sounds good. Wagner motorsports is producing a header. Someone just dynoed their car with it. I believe they had a 7whp gain. You may want to replace your 1st cat w/ a high flow cat. It's also suspected that the midpipe (the pipe that connects the two cats) is a major restrictor.

I searched for wagner headers but it said that it still was a project.
|
I imagine they'll be availbable soon. www.essentialspeed.com have some. However, they're much more expensive.
|
Wagner's headers sound great. I'm a newbie racer and I don't really know any racing terminology so any info that would make my car better would be great.
|
Stick with the short ram, it's cheaper,safer,and negligible difference if any in gains from the injen...
|
Thanks macdaddyslomo. Do you have any other suggestions that i can do for better performance under the hood ?
|
yes..under the hood you can do cams,underdrive pulleys,phenolic spacers,j-spec intake manifold,high compression pistons,adjustable cam gears
|
Can you get me some prices for those items...and another thing, do you know what a good time for the 1/4 mile is for a MP5 A/T and if you do know the time what items did that person have on his car. Thanks
|
i just installed the AEM intake in my car and the throttle response is awesome now goin through the gears. Also it sounds almost like i got a turbo under the hood at idle and its very throaty at acceleration.
