So I did it. Spent the extra money on the AEM. Extremely quick and easy instal. Still feel like the “box” isn’t sealed well enough to avoid warm air from the bay but definitely think it’s better than stock! Got my fun noises.
Mate, that aluminium plate goes behind the airbox (it's sandwiched between the airbox metal and the polycarbonate AEM plate) . Looking goodSo I did it. Spent the extra money on the AEM.

Lol. Oops! Got to fix that now... thanks for the heads up. Didn’t even noticeMate, that aluminium plate goes behind the airbox (it's sandwiched between the airbox metal and the polycarbonate AEM plate) . Looking good
CorkSport SRI heat shield uses the stock scoop as well. Check the CorkSport installation manual for details.Can someone please clarify, is the corksport less restrictive than the other 2? It sounds like the other 2 reuse more of the stock intake system than the corksport does. I wanted to know what you guys meant by reusing the stock snorkel. I’m picking up my CX9 on Tuesday so i haven’t been able to look under the hood yet
Any of these intakes will be less restrictive. If you sit in traffic, idling, especially when it's hot outside, you'll want one of the systems that reuse the stock snorkel. I rarely ever sit in traffic especially with my commute so for now, I have just the corksport sr intake, no heat shield. As long as you're moving, the intercooler will take care of the aits.Can someone please clarify, is the corksport less restrictive than the other 2?
