Scion Xb
Strength:
Nice power
Weakness:
No way to replace the filter. The unit was installed by the dealer on my new Scion. After five years of no service by the dealer (the mileage has been decreasing) I checked the filter to find that it is disintegrating. I can see daylight through the filter but can not replace it. I will have to pay another 300-400 dollars for the whole assembly. It's not worth it. |

Mazda 3 Hatchback 2.3L
Strength:
Amazing sound, Noticeable power gain, Great fit
Weakness:
None It feels like I'm driving a new car! I see that people are getting better gas mileage, but I'm sure mine will drop from gunning it everywhere. I am shocked at how amazing it sounds! Was not expecting that. I floor it often just to hear the intake work. Installation was a pain because I did not remove the bumper or tire. Removing the resonator in particular was not enjoyable. Other than that, this has been $240 well spent. Highly recommended. |

AEM COI
Strength:
Increased performance, high powered engine noise (a positive for those that like that I suppose).
Weakness:
AEM filter rubber will crack considerably with time. Possibility of hydrolocking increases considerably over stock components - DO NOT GET AN AUTOMATED UNDERCARRIAGE WASH WITHOUT PROTECTING FILTER FIRST. Without going into the details, hydrolocking will completely destroy your engine. This came pre installed on my Mitsu Eclipse when I first purchased it 4 years ago. I didn't think much of it until I reinstalled the stock mitsubishi intake. I lossed a considerable amount of power, though my engine compartment was quieter. I cleaned by AEM filter andreinstalled the CAI. It performs better than before after I cleaned it. Similar Products Used: Compared to oem intake manifold. |

Looks great. Sounds Awesome. Great all around power.
Weakness:
Hydrolocking is a chance but can be fixed with a bypass valve. This AEM intake is awesome. Looks great and sounds cool. When my car is idling it has a nice humming sounds coming from the motor. Around 4000rmp it gets nice and loud. Acceleration improved a bit also.

Strength:
Sounds awesome, looks great (when the hood is up), performs great, and will pay for itself and then some.
Weakness:
Like any CAI there's a risk of hydrolock, but I haven't had to go through that yet. The installation was hampered a little by the directions, which were very descriptive but had confusing pictures. It runs great, sounds awesome, and has gained me ~7mpg (which, at the rate I drive, will pay for the CAI in about a year and a half). After installation, my car has been much more responsive, especially past 3.5k rpms. When returning home during a storm, the car began to lose some power (I suspect because of water vapor on the MAF sensor), but it never coughed or died.

Strength:
work perfectly for my car and when i check it after having a long drive most of the time it is still good to go. This product is one of the best one I bought for my Toyota car. The cold air intake of my car had gave me a big trouble but not after i purchase AEM Cold Air Intake.I've been using this for almost 2 years and it is still working well and made me satisfied buying it. Unlike the other I bought, after driving for about 5000kms I would have to check it but instead of cleaning and putting oil , I'll have to buy a new one 'coz its damage. At least now I know what to get when this one will be broken.

AEM Cold Air Intake
Strength:
Increased power, kick butt guteral engine rumble.
Weakness:
Installation guide was a tad weak, but I worked through it. The AEM cold air intake was absolutely amazing after I installed it into my 2002 Honda Prelude SH. It made the car sound like a freakin Harley, and definitely added a noticeable change to the HP and pickup. I'd buy another in a heartbeat. Similar Products Used: n/a |

Volvo V70 T5
Strength:
Performance-tuned, so one knows he'll get what most of us wants: Optimized fuel consumption and more horsepower regardless of drive condition.
Weakness:
Had to shell out a few bucks more for installation.
You have probably heard of how the V70 is decent on cross-country drives. It provides a comfortable ride, with its leather seats and all. The 300bhp power output of my V70's T5 engine, however, shows a drop when I take to the trails.
