AFE intake piping touching coolant line problem.
Hey guys
Anyone running an AFe intake or any other having a similar issue? The pipping is touching the rubber coolant line. Any solutions? Thanks |

Yes. Mine is doing the same thing. I just added a piece of rubber between the intake and the hose. I noticed it when I took the intake off for a service appointment. Glad I saw it before it caused a hole in the radiatior hose. Mine looks identical to yours.

I'm worried it's also making my intake air hotter since its touching the intake pipe... There's ceramic fibre tape that can resist the heat but have yet to find a vendor that sells it locally. |

No problem. Glad I found this thread since there was a possibility of rubbing.

Tbh tho guys, intake is just for sound, and from what I heard, all intakes sound pretty much the same (unless someone has tried different brands to do an accurate comparison).
For $500 for AFEs, I could get 2 BMS or other intakes. Someone correct me wrong. |

Yeah it probably doesn't add that much HP, but it looks nice and makes the car sound a lot better, along with hearing the turbo spool and the DV whosh, lol. It all comes down to preference.

Internal air temps are just about the same between afe open and the stock intake while driving even as slow as 10 mph. The higher IAT was in stop and go rush hour traffic. The higher IAT quickly goes back to normal temps once at highway speeds

I just like the look of the AFE Momentum. It's worth the price of admission to me. To each his/her own, right?
