Default AEM Brute Force - Just Finished Install

Just finished up the install. Overall it was pretty simple, 2 hours or so. No major issues. Even if the kit doesnt give me more horsepower (6 more according to the dyno page they sent) it is worth it just for the sound. It will be difficult to keep my foot out of it for the next couple weeks. Next modification is a Magna Flow Exhaust. My goal it to have all the goodies on before the first oil change!!

Default RE: AEM Brute Force - Just Finished Install

I will take some pics tomorrow and post. I have the before's, I just need the afters. Also, two hours from the time I pulled it in, until I wiped the last bit of wax off of it. The biggest pain is that you have to remove the fender liner. I should have just fired my air tools up, but by the time I thought of it I was 1/2 done.

A question for the both of you - any issues with drone at highway speeds with you Magnaflow exhaust?

I have a magna flow. I love it. doesn't drone on the hi way, and sounds decent w/MDS. Not good obviously with 4 cyl, but not bad.

umm... its not a quiet exhaust by all means on the outside on the inside there is slight drone when accellerating and stuff but on the highway it just hums along and the interior is quiet

I see you also had to trim the cutout for the hood light, which adds some time.

I have the 4.7, and it fits great, but it looks like I will have to pull the fender liner every time I want to remove the filter element. I guess I will do the spring/fall cleaning thing when I swap winter and summer tires.

I think it would just be eaiser to remove the hose clamp at the TB and unbolt the tube vs pulling the fender liner. That was a pain on my truck.
