Anyone install the 3.5 on an ms6 with cp-e fmic? I'm concerned there is not enough room since the hot pipe on the fmic goes down the driver side.

I had to with the BNR, no way it was fitting. Easy to do though and turned out fine.

Well, that is what I'm going to be doing. I have to get a custom unit due to my stupid Steed Speed manifold. But, based on preliminary looks using the one I got at first, I believe it will fit. I will be getting the unit in soon.

EDIT: See the picture above, the hole to the wheelwell is clear.

Anyone else have a problem with the aem filter slipping off?

[jdmage_mx5]

I am not having any trouble. Using the supplied clamp my filter is not going anywhere.

[Boosted Beluga]

Ether the clamp slips off or filter will slip off. I feel if the bead roll on that part of the intake wasn't there then I wouldn't have a problem.

[faeker]

No issues at all.

[KusteLokal]

The bead roll is there to prevent slipping

[Boosted Beluga]

I know but for me it's causing the slippage.

Hmmmm, @HTP; any ideas? Also try posting a vid of the filter slipping off and call them.

I'll do that. If aem added an additional 1/2" to their coupler it would also be fine. I'm going to try some sandpaper to scuff it up.

Updates?

[TiGraySpeed6]

Now, to be clear, I'm not running the HTP intake, but I do run the AEM on my Cobb intake which has just a lip about 0.75" deep to attach the filter with, no bead or anything.

Since the HTP has a bead, and there's no air pressure or anything pushing against it, what's causing it to come off?

Seems like (guessing here!) it would have to be not on far enough to have the bead on the other side of the clamp, or it's vibrating so bad that the filter is being shaken off. Or both...

I dunno. I know you know how to turn a wrench Boosten!! Curious to see what's decided

[Boosted Beluga]

It doesn't go on far enough cause the lip you said ^^^ the clamp slips off the filter if I clamp it where it should be or if I clamp it on the other side the whole filter slips off. If I clamp it on the bead then the vibes makes it come loose.

Maybe heating it up to get it a little tacky?

My friend suggested I try degreaser to take the oil film off.

I'm using my pepboys special for now till I figure something out.

[Boosted Beluga]

IMO a bead roll is not needed on an intake at least for the filter side as air is being sucked in. No boost is going threw it.

The turbo side yes cuz there is no support braket for the intake.

Don't get me wrong I love the intake but the stupid filter. Lol

[Cyclops]

What size do you have? The filter on my 3" isn't going anywhere.

[Boosted Beluga]

3.5"

[fredricktsang]

filter on my 3" hasn't moved an inch since installing it about a month ago

I would try and wipe off that oil residue that is on the AEM filter. I don't like how they have the residue on there, but that's how they are shipped from AEM. Clean it off with some brake/parts cleaner, let dry, then make sure the filter is pushed on all the way.

We put the bead there for long term functionality. Over time the rubber on the filter gets hard and the filter will wanna work its way off. We have seen this happen many times over the years so we would rather be proactive than reactive.

Matt

[Boosted Beluga]

Thank you Matt. Yes I agree with you on being proactive but me being me I would buy a new filter before the rubber would dry out. But as I said, that's just the way I am.

[El_Diablo]

Worst case, cut the bead off.

[burn813]

The ms6 will be in this weekend, promise!!

Here is my 3" with the stock battery: There is TONS of room with the group 51R battery tray from HTP though. I highly recommend picking up the 51R tray if you're installing one of these. Here is a picture with the HTP 51R tray:

The problem turns out to be nothing other than me screwing up and not realizing that our test car had a replacement battery that didn't represent the size of the stock battery. This led us to advertise that it fit the MS6 when it in fact does not fit without modifying or moving the stock tray.

I worked on a solution today that will move your battery back while securely mounting your stock tray. We will be sending out the fix to those that we know have a MS6, and once the fix is verified, will be including it with the intakes for the MS6.

I apologize for the problems you guys incurred trying to make this fit. I will post up some pics of the fix once I refine it tomorrow.

Thanks
Matt

Great customer service right there.

[burn813]

Not many companies would take blame for something that happened with a product, let alone make a part to fix the issue and send it out to previous customer.... That is badass!!

The makers of my intake "sure" wouldn't...can't wait to replace it with an HTP this summer! Just can't decide if I want a 3" or a 3.5"

I Tapped that

Are you rocking a stock turbo? If so.... The 3in is prolly the biggest you want to go

[Boosted Beluga]

I have a 3.5" on stock turbo. I love it. Pulls hard up top and holds more boost.

[TiGraySpeed6]

Given the option, I'd pick the 3.5"

The K04 is only gonna flow what it can, so anything you can do to make it's life easier is gonna help. Being sure that it's never ever starved for air flow is a good start, and a fat solid wall of air is a good thing.

[Boosted Beluga]

Exactly. Why limit the k04 when you have an option to let it breath better.

[erobi014]

What colors are available for powder coating. I am debating on whether to get the 3" or 3.5" intake. Only trying to see over 300 with stock turbo. It seems that some people have trouble dialing the 3.5" in. Any suggestions?

[Boosted Beluga]

The 3.5" is fine. 2 maf cals and I'm good. They have a lot of options for powder coating.

When I first replied to you, for some idiotic reason, I was thinking the pipe went down the hole to the wheelwell. I haven't the slightest idea why I was thinking that, I've taken my hot pipe on and off many times for various reasons. So I know better. Guess I'm just stupid.

So, anyway, I got my custom version of the HTP due to the fact that that I've got a nonstandard Steeedspeed turbo manifold. It is hitting my CPE hot pipe. But, I believe the problem is that it is now too long. If I have HTP shorten it again, it'll fit fine. And, probably the regular version will already fit with the CPE. I think that when I had mine elongated, I had it elongated too much. At any rate, for pictures, see here:

My 3.5" intake isn't long enough for my Steedspeed manifold

Exactly why I have been hesitant to buy the 3.5" intake and asked the question.

Well, HTP has been easy to work with to accommodate my nonstandard needs. I'm sure that after the next pass, it'll fit perfect with the CPE FMIC.

[Domino81]

I got my HTP tray and 3" full intake kit a few days back. Love the quality and the finish. I wish you guys made more shit... Not like I need an extra excuse to spend money. Bastards...

[erobi014]

Just got my 3.5" intake and tray in today. Can't wait to install.

[erobi014]

Installed. Will take better pics when the weather is better.

[erobi014]

Better pics of the intake. It sounds badass during boost. Overall, best part I have gotten so far.
