waste of money save it for cams or turbo or something.

Just get an ebay intake and slap a better filter on it.

Seriously. Theres no point in spending hundreds on an intake. Just do what ABK said, generic intake with a nice filter. The only way I'd justify spending good money on an intake would be the CF J's Racing STYLE intakes for like $160 shipped... because its blingy lol.

Ebay pipe with a K&N filter. The AEM V2 would maybe give you one or 2whp AT 7000rpms but is that really worth 250-300bucks??

<<previous 99 si owner


buy a used AEM or used injen. They will both do just fine, make sure filter is clean.

yup thats true. The only way to make an si fast is boost. But a CAI really makes a difference in 5th gear on the freeway plus you can hear vtec nicely

Tsk tsk tsk. You don't believe us because you're stuck in the fantasy world where people shop by name brand. That's not the way it always works out here in reality man. An intake is a FREAKING PIPE! The only thing that ever matters is filter and location of filter. AEM doesn't make their intakes out of gold or some other magic material that nets eleventy billion horsepower.

CAI all work the same right? 2-3hp extra isnt worth the 250-300 bucks. i bought a CAI with filter for about 30bucks, and **** it does its job well done!

what if the 3 extra whp of the v2 is worth it to someone?

it is worth it to me after all $224 is not very much money these days. my g/f spends that on jeans and a shirt that she will wear for 1 month.

I can use the v2 with my jrsc for years. AND ill have 3 more whp than you
