I have not tried one yet. I tried a DIY Spectre SRI and it killed my performance so badly I bought the K&N drop in filter and never looked back. Funny thing is I did the same DIY Spectre mod on my old Mazda Protege ES. It made the Mazda run much better from idle to redline.
I might try the AEM after a few more people review it.

A couple guys here swear by it. If my Takeda ever begins throwing CELs (which it looks like it probably won't), I'll get the AEM.


Yuriy, why are you looking for 5mm spacers?

I had the Takeda on mine, and I noticed slight performance loss and eventually a CEL. So I purchased the AEM ETI, and I love it. Just as yall said ^^ I swear by it haha. Performance, Sound, Looks, everything about it is great. And I got it for less than a Takeda ($230 I believe?)

At the risk of sparking a political debate... I'm not sure being anti SOPA and PIPA (ideas probably best defined as fascist) qualifies you as a communist. I would consider myself a capitalist or free marketeer (the opposite of communist) and am very against both acts.

bottom line is i just did it as a joke

communism is a very complicated topic. I don't think many actually know what it is. rather then looking at it from a political perspective, it needs to be looked at from the economic/social one. wiki it and you'll learn a ton. its very possible that in the next 100-200 years the economic states will naturally evolve in some sort if communism. just like now NO country is pure capitalist, its pretty much 50/50, 50 socialism and 50% capitalism

All communistic states to this day are absolute failures and cannot even be called communist states.
Im saying all this strictly from objective economic stand point. Econ is one of my interests and ive done lots of reading/research on it

Anarchy was replaced by monarchy which was replaced by capitalism. Socialism is slowly replacing capitalism
Economic and social states are constantly evolving and are function of each other. Nothing works for ever

those just 3 LED strips that were left over from the speaker lights
