Just got my new AEM Brute Force intake! (PICS)
I just dont understand why it would run lean like a lot of other members are saying?? I thought the O2 sensor pick up the lean condition and compensate by making the mixture rich?
on an 05 you should be safe. some of the 04s had long terms that were ramping up from the factory which is when you would need a custom tune. my long term hits 7% at its highest spot which is nothing. also my dad has a airaid intake and edge on his 05 with no problems. just dont buy a huge intake like the AF1 3.5" and you should be fine.
I purchased an AEM Brute Force intake, and was planning on doing a write up for it, but then I remembered about this thread. This was an excellent write up. I think it should be moved to the "how to" section.
When we decided to get into intakes we looked at several brands and the AEM was the best build quality by FAR! The dry filter is so much easier to clean as well. And, any issue that arrises gets jumped on right away by the technical team they have. We have been very happy with them.

Has it always been there? That's the first place I looked for it but I didn't see it! :oOr did you just add it?

I noticed he doesn't have the "Technical Article Contributor" under his username...

I remember when this thread first came up. I still would like to get one of these intakes, they look so good and really clean up the engine bay nicely.
I ordered mine yesterday through AutoAnything.com. I got the Powdercoated Silver version instead of the Chrome. It was already a decent price on there, but the free shipping and memorial day discount pushed me to buy it. It came to $267.12 after tax. I can't wait to get it installed.

Very good write up! I installed an AEM on my '05 4.6L. It's my second kit, my first was on my last Ranger. I'll say that the new kit isn't as nice as my first, some of the hardware seemed a bit cheaper, but it works just was well.
