Just ordered the AEM intake system

[mtlswift]

air filter sits in the fenderwell. You'll have to remove the resonator there.
Not too many people have dyno'd their Aveo so it's hard to know exact numbers.
I'm on an Elantra board where people have done baseline + mod dynos. I know it's not a direct comparison, but it's something to work with (dyno on 4 cyl MAP based engine):
barring heat soak (i.e. hood open so the SRI gets a lot less underhood hot air) both the SRI and CAI (same filter, same tube diameter) gave the same HP gains, ~5 hp. The CAI also had 5 lb-ft torque increase, while the SRI did not show any increase in torque (longer tube of the CAI increases air intake velocity... dunno how VGIS would affect this).
Now it you take into account underhood temps, SRI gains vs the CAI will decrease fo'sho.

read my test results on page 4 about the raised hood! also may help you decide which route to go.

Just got mine in earlier today.
Heres Some pics.
Its definitely Not as Deep as my SRI but I Like the new sound pretty good.

I HATE the sound...but I guess that's the trade off for the tiny bit of pick up we get with it.

hate is such a strong word, dont hate. lmao!

besides the intake what are some other quick upgrades that will make a noticeable difference in performance?

[mikedudley17]

use the search button, its mentioned 3-4x on the forum! really it is, trust me.

Is it right that I was getting only 3500-4000 RPMs at 90mph?

what?

[thenixonyouth]

after i put in the aem cai i got up to 90MPH to see how it performed and i was only at 3500rpms as opposed to my old SRI being at 5000rpms at 90mph.
