AEM Intake Released Today???

[l33th41]

So a couple weeks ago I mass mailed a bunch of online retailers regarding information and release date for AEM part # 21-499. I finally got an e-mail back today from Dezod motorsports stating that it was just released today.

This item appears to have been just released by AEM. We just received the press release today for the item. Here is ordering information and a link to it on our website: AEM's gains: 6HP, 6.7 TQ; 61% more air flow

I'll contact them again to verify this is the correct part for our vehicle.

Looks nice! 3.5 only though and its a hefty one tipping the scales at over $350!

[l33th41]

AEM does not specify. They just list it as a 3.5L V6 07-08 Altima.

One of us will have to contact AEM directly. If no one has by the time I get back home I will.

Well it has arrived, aem's intake consists of an normal shortram w/ an air duct from the front grill ducts, which in my mind is a little too much ($377+S/H) for such design and Im sure alot of people will fab up their own setup similar to these. Nevertheless it's the only "cold air" one out there in the market

[theoctopussi]

well, there's the NISMO CAI right there!! I'm buying it...

[theoctopussi]

F*CK! it's for the 3.5ers ugh.. I knew I shoulda waited for my v6 ugh.

[Loop]

Nice, they did a lot of R&D on this intake.

[theoctopussi]

where'd you get that pic from? I can't find shiiiet.

[Infantry1327]

yea i searched the aem site and looked around on the net and it doesnt show up anywhere.

[Infantry1327]

I contacted AEM about doing this over a year ago, they showed some interest and then never got back to me.

[racingtiger03]

theyve got my attention, its a dryflow filter woot. As for the price.. the K&N is supposedly gonna be around 250-280, and it doesnt have the extra piping and new ram portion like the AEM includes. All being polished tubing as well, the price sounds reasonable when compared with other similar designs/costs. Im up for par if this is gonna be available for the 2.5!

[theoctopussi]

maybe?

[tuffmag]

HEY! Pussi

well, there's the NISMO CAI right there!! I'm buying it...

That is not a NISMO intake but the AEM...just in case you want to save some coin.

[Loop]

Like I said they have done extensive R&D on this intake. A few months ago they were in the test fitting stage. Which the intake is now available and the part number is 21-499.

[theoctopussi]

I've read that AEM builds NISMO's intakes? if I'm wrong my bad, but if not, that's what the nismo intake is gonna look like...

you can all me Poontang. LOL

[theoctopussi]

tight shiiiieeet, I'm gettin it, I'm tired of this stillen one that keeps comin loose from the bracket... gotta wait for the 2.5 6mt version though sucks culo...

[l33th41]

Just got off the phone with AEM. Sales rep stated that this will fit the 3.5 coupe and sedan with cvt or manual transmission. I wouldn't call this a 100% confirmation as it sounded like she was in a hurry to get out the door for the weekend. The rep is supposed to be sending me a technical article on the product and will post as soon as I receive!

[l33th41]

yea i searched the aem site and looked around on the net and it doesnt show up anywhere.

The AEM site has not been updated as this part has just become available today. I've been in talks with Dezod and AEM most of today. This is a confirmed part. I'm awaiting on an e-mail from an aem rep that will give us more technical info.

[PHENOMenalVinyl]

any possible way it could fit on the 2.5????

[dl_yeunuoc]

Ok guys. Here's a deal. A guy from JKG Racing might offer a group buy for this new AEM CAI.

LBC EDIT: without a mod getting involved, there will be no such GB

[l33th41]

I'll definately be purchasing one.

Mods - can you combine the two AEM threads to maximize exposure.

Thanks!

[Altima_Coupe]

im in. it will b replacing my injen

[Altima_Coupe]

ne chance of a gb possible?

[Jose3.5]

I think from the Dezod web site there is a chance. In the other forum he was talking about it but since mods here go crazy for posting other sites I won't do it.

[SHIFT_COUPE]

That's a nice looking piece. Not sure why they are calling to cold air though. In my book, technically the filter element should be down farther outside of the engine bay all together. This does look like it will aid in airflow quite well though.

[MikeisSUPERBAD]

thats pure hotnesssss

[ursus]

tight shiiiieeet, I'm gettin it, I'm tired of this stillen one that keeps comin loose from the bracket... gotta wait for the 2.5 6mt version though sucks culo...

Isnt there a K&N one that looks almost exactly the same for the 2.5
