Fram BOOST CAI System
« on: December 29, 2007, 10:01:14 PM »
Below is a pic of the Fram BOOST CAI System I installed on my '06 Av about a year ago.  Very pleased to date with tthe performance.  This system appears to be closely related to the AEM Brute Force CAI System.

Yes, it is.  There's a black metal shield that is installed around the filter and the MAF Sensor area to isolate the intake from the hot air in the surrounding engine bay area.  :thumbup:  See below.  :thumbup:

I've been looking at the Volant CAI but I was wondering something.  I've heard comments that after installing a CAI that people "love the sound".  Is there an additional noise from these?  I love how my Av sounds now-don't really thing I'd want to add anything else that makes noise...What do you think boilers94?  Any extra sound from yours?

You will be able to hear the extra intake of air but, from my experience, only at WOT. I don't notice the extra noise from my ProCold intake at all but it's probably because of the other "whine" when I go to WOT.  :grin:

I'm with badav on this one, the one I put on my bus had a growl but only when I nailed it which was often considering the size of that thing. My youngest stepson (15) was constantly telling me to hammer on it cause he loved the sound of that intake. hmmm   $3/gal and 12.5 mpg in the city...NOT TOO OFTEN. lol

It resembles the sound that your old car used to make when you turned over the air cleaner lid. Didn't make much sense but it sounded good.

Peggy. An aftermarket CAI wont add noise while driving.  Only when you step down on the pedal and its just air sucking in. It wont change the sound of the pipes in any way at all.

Whew...Glad to hear it.  I was about to change my mind on it.  I love the FM 50 sound and don't want to change anything.  So the CAI is a go again!!  Now to get those wires/plugs everyone recommends for a good tune-up, the CAI installed, and my Av should be ready to go for anything  :thumbsup:
