With everything hooked up, it’s time to install the airbox for the AEM cold air intake. Here is the space where it all fits.
 |
| The AEM cold air intake box is installed along with the MAF sensor adapter pipe. The AEM intake kit includes a heavy duty pliable rubber seal which lines the airbox around the opening to provide a thermal seal around adapter pipe by preventing hot air from the engine compartment from entering the box. |
 |
| The AEM dry air cone air filter is attached to the MAF adaptor inside the box. The AEM filter has more surface area than the stock panel and the dry flow media has OEM like filtration efficiency with better flow. It can also be washed with soap and water and there’s no need to oil it after it dries either. |

| Front view of the X with the ARC intercooler, AEM intake, and the Cosworth intercooler hardpipes and AEM intake installed. The fit of everything is quite tidy. |
 |
| Another look at the OEM compressor bypass valve and recirculation hose on the lower Cosworth intercooler pipe. |
 |
| Engine bolt-ons completed, sans plastic covers. The fit and finish of our parts is excellent. |
