Congrats on the intake. I think it looks great.
I have a comment or two to make about your technician however. Sounds like he likes to hear himself talk.. like me.
Differences in MAF size is negligible. It is a constant debate between tuners whether the sizing really does much. The best explanation I can give is a smaller MAF will allow for faster air and a quicker throttle response where as a larger MAF will allow for more air but wont build the velocity the same way.
In the end though, the MAF is part of the car and not replaced with an intake. So regardless of WHAT intake you run our MAF will always be 1/9. A 1/9 MAF will pretty easily fit into the rubber housing of a 1/18 civic si CAI. The sensor remains the same size though so not sure why the technician even mentioned it.
Is the Injen CAI Cali Smog legal? Any idea?
And if trentimus chimes in, does your AEM intake have that C bend like above? I know yours does slightly but I thought it hooked straight down like a J instead of a complete C.
And P.S. What do you mean in your signature by no camber BS? What stance do you plan on rolling?
