Another AEM with a slight modification
Decided I wanted to cut down on the air from engine compartment getting into the filter box. I spent too much time on this and it was probably more work than it was worth, but it was fun and gave me time to play with the Titan...What I did- "rhino-lined" the tube and box, I did this also becasue I didn't want all the chrome. It turned out great. I also thought that maybe this would cut down on the "metal" sound that some have been complaining about. I don't hear the metal sound yet, so maybe it worked maybe not...I also put a piece of sheet metal in the box and made the hole where the tube goes smaller and put a strip of foam caulk backing around it to seal it further around the tube. I attached the sheet metal to the box using small sheet metal screws then grinding them down. It's not as tight as a fit as I was trying around the tube, but it's close enough for me. You guys be the judge. I like it alot, but don't know if it was worth the time involved...I love the swooosh sound!

Re: Another AEM with a slight modification
Looks good... I like how it blends in with everything in the engine bay. Chrome is nice but not always the best in appearance due to what is surrounding it. Nice Job!

Re: Another AEM with a slight modification
That looks really good.
I was thinking of doing the same thing with powdercoating the tube instead. How much did the rhino lining cost you? |

Re: Another AEM with a slight modification
I just used the 3M rattle can undercoating. You can buy the brand name herculiner stuff and that would work also, but more $. It took about 2 cans to do. It was originally the polished finish, but I sanded it and the box before coating, PITA. Since posting I have gone on a 600 mile road trip and have noticed gain going from originally 16mpg to now 18. That is not the reason I got the AEM, but a welcomed benefit. I also have a magnaflow. I will see on the way home if I get the same mpg or if it was a freak thing. Thanks for the comments!

Re: Another AEM with a slight modification
I think that is one kick azz job Fedxr. Looks really nice, not to shiny and matches the surrounding. I would think you gained some insulating properties as well with the lining. So you get a
on several aspects!

Re: Another AEM with a slight modification
I have a question. How much different does your box look now vs. when it arrived? Does it come with a full box or just a partial to seal off? Also does the AEM come with a TB spacer for the Titan?

Re: Another AEM with a slight modification
No TBS included - just the rubber wrap that fits the intake pipe directly flush with the TB instead of over it as the original one did.
