It doesn't ram air. It pulls air from an empty space and passes a large body of tubing cross-wise the radiators. I'm not impressed.
Show me a modification to the stock air intake that has piping like this but stays top-side and has air ram from before the radiators and I'll be sold.
Not dogging your install. It looks fantastic, and I'm sure it works fine.
I'm running with the AUT CAI, a KN cotton filter, and my butt-dyno says I pick up some better throttle response. Smoothe out the stock tubing to the intake manifold and I'll bet that it would be even better.

Where is the head end of the new CAI? Does it ram air? I don't see it being any advantage since the piping is routed behind the A/C and water cooler. The piping will take on the heat from those units. If the piping were more topside and went straight to the topside air inlet with a scoop, I'd be more impressed.
Sell me on this install.
Me, I'd like to get rid of the stock airbox and hose and go with a larger diameter smoothe metal while scooping air just before the radiators.
Word.

I am very curious about the Hondata intake manifold isolation. Keep us posted.

The intake goes under the radiator. There is no colder path. Up higher, you are going to see hotter air. If you cut out the right hole on the AP2 bumper, you can do ram air all you want.

I think the Fujita is exactly like an AEM V1 and it does go to the passenger side front fender area.
AEM V2 is the best intake.
