Default Cold Air intake and header questions

Hey, was lookin at some intakes and pretty much decided that i want either the password jdm powerchamber or the aem hybrid.... just lookin for some input on either

Also, I am in the market for a header for my b16......... any input as well as prices or a good place to get it.

Thanks for the help

The AEM V2 makes great power for an intake, better than the whale dick, which is an overrated intake IMO.

But the carbon fiber intake looks 10x better. I guess the AEM v2 doesn't look all too bad, but I still think the P:JDM intake looks and sounds pretty tight.

There are far better headers than the generic DC 4-1

It's just an intake. You think I'm gonna care about how well it performs considering it's not going to give me much of a hp increase in the first place? Nope!

If you plan on getting a lot of horsepower out of an N/A Honda, every last detail counts.

I could say "It's just a header" but there are pretty clear differences between a DC and an SMSP.
