AutoEXE intake: Fitment and performance experience?
Im considering to get myself one of these. It looks fantastic paired with a good SMIC. But how is the fitment and performance?
I am currently running a thicker Koyo radiator, with rx8 fans and im concerned if this makes it to tight. Anyonw tried this?
Also, done anyone have any indication on performance gains? Is it considered a no-no on stock ECU?
(I got a full 99-spec front conversion)

Much better performance especially with the 99' spec bumper. I have an aftermarket Abflug bumper. Air rams right into the Autoexe. It fits fine with some minor adjustments except for the height with the aftermarket radiator. I have a Fluidyne and had to drop the radiator a little by taking out the stock rubber washer bolts and had to trim the fan housing by cutting off about 3/4 inch of the edge that touches the radiator all the way around. This drops the fan housing down some. I too have the RX8 fans. My air intake temps definitely went down but I cannot give you an exact amount since I have many other mods in the intake (ceramic coating of entire intake system, insulated coating of internal surface of the Autoexe, a 500 cfm fan which is temperature controlled I mounted into the Autoexe to draw in cool air even at stop lights, bored throttlebody, honed UIM, dual bank SMIC, etc.) This will not have any detrimental effects when using a stock ECU since it just allows cooler air to enter the engine, which will be sensed by the air intake temperature sensor. Here are some pictures.
