LightSquared's "Recommendation" Document: A Review
01.07.11
Report filing, LightSquared had for months repeatedly said that its proposed operations would not interfere with GPS. Faced with the report's overwhelming evidence of massive interference – and no doubt in order to preempt these highly negative results -- LightSquared simultaneously released a 37-page "Recommendation" document (RD) that it developed totally outside of the Technical Working Group established to collaboratively study the problem.
In that document, LightSquared proposed an entirely new deployment scenario, not included in the initial scope of the working group analysis, which would not use the Upper MSS band at all, and a series of mitigation measures – many of which were never disclosed or discussed during the four-month working group study process. Further, the document tries to blame the "commercial GPS industry" for any interference caused by its operations, and also claims, without citation to the working group study or any other supporting data, that its proposal will solve interference for 99 percent of GPS receivers.

AEM Cold Air Intake with a stock air filter?
May 01, 2008 by Jonathan | Posted in Honda
I have a 2007 Honda Civic LX, and I am thinking of getting an AEM Cold-Air Intake system installed. Thing is, is that I have a stock air filter/dust-pollen filter, and I was wondering if that's going to affect the peformance of the intake.
Am I better off getting an aftermarket Dry-flow filter (AEM or K&N) or keeping the filter stock with just the intake alone?
you wont be able to use the stock filter with the aftermarket intake, which comes with a filter anyway

I have an AEM intake on my 2000 Cougar, and the stock air filter was a K&N filter, but the filters are completely different. The AEM filter is a cone filter, your stock filter is most likely a box. so in that case, No. Most AEM filters are a closed cone, if you are looking for a little louder/more aggressive intake, Weapon R has open cone filters which have the same fittings as the AEM.

I use K&N on my A EM AIR intake system.

You will get some extra power from an dry-flow filter (not much but some).

How do I replace the air filter for AEM Short Ram Air Intake?
Jul 11, 2007 by Frank H | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
Hi, I have an AEM Short Ram Air Intake for my 96 Honda Accord and was wondering how do I replace the air filter? The filter is really dirty. Can I just wash it with water? Or does it need to be replaced? Thanks.
Buy some K&N filter cleaner and follow the directions, or use dish soap and warm water to clean it. Run the water from the inside to the outside! Let it air dry, then oil it with air filter oil (available at local auto parts store for $6) and reinstall it.

Air filter for 2003 350z with AEM cold air intake?
May 01, 2009 by icnmayhem | Posted in Nissan
I purchased a used 350z that has the AEM cold air intake equipped, and it is time to change the air filter. The pipe runs down close to the driver side wheel well, where I cant easily get to it, so I took it to the service shop where I get my oil changed to have the air filter cleaned. I was told that because the air filter gets wet when it rains, it wouldn’t be able to be cleaned, and would need to be continually replaced. Because the AEM filter is $53, they recommended I get a regular paper throwaway like FRAM to use, since it will be discarded. Trouble is, I cant find the part number, since they search by vehicle, and I’m using a CAI, not the factory size. The AEM part number is 21-203DK. What would be the equivalent part number in FRAM, or something similar?
Your mechanic is a moron. First off it CAN be cleaned. you have to remove it from the pipe, spray it out from the inside out, then blow air from the inside out and let it dry. It SHOULD be a dry flow filter and if it is then drying is all you need to do. If it is the other kind K&N makes a filter cleaning kit with the spray to make the filter absorb dirt particles.

What's the difference between a classic air filter system AEM Intake?
Aug 09, 2006 by Sailor | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
And what's the life time of AEM Intake
A "classic air filter system" uses a 'drop in' type air filter that is secured in place by the stock air filter retainer box. The air filter takes air in, and that air goes to the throttle body, which goes to the intake manifold, and so on.
The OEM air-filter / intake system for most cars is their weakest aspect, performance-wise. The air going into the filter in stock setups is HOT air sucked into the pistons and made even hotter in the process, which isn't very effective if you consider that hot air is less dense so the motor isn't combining as much air and fuel in each combustion as it would be if the air rushing into the motor was colder.
"AEM" is just one manufacturer of "Cold Air Intake" systems (or CAI). A CAI system is the first step in improving the intake components of your car. A CAI installs easily (really easily) onto your stock throttle body in place of the OEM air filter and box. It sucks air through a filter aimed into the bottom of the engine bay, thereby bringing in colder air. It filters materials much better than a stock filter, and it has better heat-resistance than a stock filter. So RWHP is increased because you've decreased the air temperature at intake, effectively allowing air to be denser in each piston which combusts more powerfully.
CAI systems are designed well by most big-name manufacturers. AEM's filters, along with every other brand name, last for the life of your car. The CAI Kit comes with cleaning materials. Take care of it properly and it will last for a long time. I like to replace my filter once a year just so it looks nice and new.
In terms of quality, I like Iceman, K&N, and AirRaid. I've found those to have the best dyno results and quality. AEM is okay, the "Target" of CAI systems. Stay away from "APC" and "Dragon Weapon-R", at least in my humble opinion, as those are two low quality CAI systems.
