A very emotive subject and the people that have a certain brand will tell that their CAI is the best ,we always fitted Alta sound great and like other brands won't give you massive gains ,unfortunately you pays your money and take your choice but whatever one you go with you will enjoy and the Alta will give you more noise which is addictive

I've always went with Alta. Sounds and looks great. None give any real gain

Well i will put my 2p worth in.
I had the AEM as went for the performace side and regreted it should have gone alta if only for the noise as i not sure the AEM added any thing for a lot of money for the fit but i do like the fact it used the scoop for a direct cool air feed to the filter.

Sounds like the Alta is the one

Does it genuinely make a real noticeable difference to the sound?

I'm still disappointed with the standard sound of my R56 and still (I know, still....) debating buying a JCW rear section. But I wonder if my pennies would be better spent on an induction system like this. I know it'll change the sound in a different way but I care more about how it sounds to me inside the car than to others on the outside. Would the Alta make more sense for me than a JCW exhaust? Unfortunately I'm struggling to justify either let alone buying both.

I have fitted the aem intake to both of my R56s to me I feel no difference with the power or throttle response I had my last r56 dynod with aem intake and a decat and it made 200bhp and the claimed increase of the decat and intake together was meant to be in the 25-30bhp range so the car did make the claimed gain. I personally prefer the look of the aem with the bonnet open but the quality is pretty poor for the cost I've replaced the clips that hold the funnel 3 times and I'm. Going to. Have to replace the foam gasket on the open airbox

I like how clean it looks I do also need to have the heat shield powder coated as the coating has staining on it from I presume some snowfoam or soap dripping from the bonnet scoop and it boiling offhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170516/f0d4ca97a6cef534f2b8ec2716d5b85f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170516/6651aca2dacb88d8bb5e22c4d52ac611.jpg

Has anyone measured IATs for the AEM? Would be interesting to know if the cold air feed made a measurable difference

My Alta intake has had a positive influence in the sound-effects department. From inside you can hear a fairly prominent 'intake of breath' when you apply the throttle, and an obvious "Pssshhhh" when you lift off. Like others have said, if you're looking for real power gains, intake kits won't do it, but it hasn't had a detrimental effect on my power output and makes it more 'interesting' to drive.

Sounds like it makes it even more enjoyable to drive i do like the sound of it sounds good to me

Definitely worthwhile in my opinion if it was more for performance you wanted you are better getting the Jcw airbox but for more turbo sounds alta, aem or k&n

I could get a short Gopro clip of the sound of the aem I could post later today

So I'm just waiting for time to fit it but I'm going to blow everyone's mind...

I'm putting my Alta intake head into my AEM box.

Results to follow.
