RE: Does AEM intake need a tune

I own the AEM brute force CAI .... and i dont notice anything different... i have installed CAI's in all my cars and they all have significant power and sound differences from stock... the Brute force doesnt even growl like how intakes usually growl... i dont notice any power difference from stock.. Im assuming with a tune, it should make a difference... I paid $240 from ebay... IMO dont buy it unless you are getting a tuner as well...

RE: Does AEM intake need a tune

I used the AFE stage 1 ...it was 225 on ebay ...no tune requiered and when it was tested on the dyno ( by AFIXER) it showed great gains on both HP and TQ (cant remember the numbers exactly but you can use the search for them) without tuning. I only changed to the c & L because i plan to run nitrous and wanted the aluminum intake tube. Iam willing to let the AFE go for 125 shipped if anyone is interested.
