maybe not specifically afe...but members with the 535's have tried the "CAI" cone intakes only to report an actual loss in performance..that's why an air scoop and drop in filter are recc'd over open/cone intakes...

the afe intakes are known to cause loss of power due to heat soak. like gene said the best bet is to go with an RPi Scoop + BMC Filter for power.
