Unless its a whale *****, then you can spend the $350 and say "****, Im so JDM my intake is made out of carbon fiber" However, I say "****, Im more JDM than that guy cause mine is made out of Kevlar"....it really is.

Password just came out with the Carbon Kevlar intake. I Unpacked one the other day at a shop. It looks cool, but it has alot of flaws.

I use the V2 and I can feel the added power through out the entire rpm range. It is also cold to the touch after driving for a while. Not to mention it sounds great... not to loud but you can deffinatly hear the whistle when it's taking in its air.

has anyone switched from a short ram to a V2? I'm curious about whether the V2 is worth the extra bux.

eh, they're not much used and you get the benefits of cold air as long as it doesn't rain TOO much or flood where you live. here's mine on my 96 gsr that came with the car:


it's for SALE!!!

unless you're in cali and need to be carb legal
or building a show car that has to have name brands on everything, its not worth the money to buy a name brand intake.

the only difference is they tend to come with a real k&n filter, your best bet would be to find one you like on ebay and exchange the filter for a real k&n.

Just get one off of ebay dude I just picked up a AEM CAI for $44 shipped. Works great for the money I got in it but I would never pay $300-350 for a new one. I'll save that money for my turbo later hehe

How many times must I say this today? Short ram + velocity stack = dyno proven power. And you save like $200.

this may be a stupid question...

how do you prevent outside debris from getting sucked into the intake manifold with a velocity stack?

but i thought that the velocity stack is like a trumpet horn looking think that connects to the end of the intake pipe... thought it would be just open with no filter

It is, technically. K&N makes a special filter to fit over the end, i.e. the one I have pictured.
