Default Thoughts...reviews.. .opinions...on new AEM V2?

Okay i found one thread on this so far....but i know alot of us just stick to one forum or dont visit certain ones so alot of people wont get to see this and post there opinions/ and or have any valuable info on this so here goes in this very popular forum. My fav.

by the way heres the other link on that other forum..oh whats it called
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=328238


AEM is proud to introduce its Version2 (V2) Cold Air Induction System for popular sport compact car applications! The AEM V2 incorporates a revolutionary breakthrough in inlet system design that utilizes a dual chamber (using two different diameters and lengths of piping). This design creates multiple frequency sound waves that help charge the cylinders with more air throughout the entire rpm range. Because more air is able to enter the cylinder chambers, the AEM V2 is able to create more horsepower and torque-across the entire rpm range-than any other air induction system. The AEM V2 even outperforms the original AEM Cold Air!

The AEM V2 is manufactured from 6061 mandrel-bent aluminum piping and features a unique, high-gloss titanium powdercoating that reduces heat soak and enhances looks. Every AEM Air Induction System includes a proprietary one-piece, four-layer cotton-gauze air filter for superior filtration and comes with a complete hardware kit and comprehensive installation instructions for trouble-free installation. Every AEM Cold Air system is manufactured and assembled in the U.S.A., and is either C.A.R.B. exempt or pending C.A.R.B. exemption (50-state legal). The AEM V2 is Patent Pending.

thing is huge, i hope they incorporated some kinda bypass valve but it looks like they didn't, in the end it is still just an overpriced intake.

it adds about 3-5 more hp over the regular CAI. has better throttle response too because of the chamber inside.

If you have the Feb. 2003 Issue of SCC, look on page 79 for some dynos. It says there are more on the AEM website, but I can't find them.

every dyno i have seen has shown big gains for an intake over the original aem, like 5-7 hp over the oldschool aem

Like everyone elses general response...I'll believe it when I see it. Give me a real dyno sheet (not AEM's bullshit ones) and I will make judgement then...

stock air boxes with k&n drop ins are the best...spend you money on internals you will like them much more.

Just stick with short ram for $100 or Iceman since they care so cheap and are on sale more often then AEM. Intake to me isnt worth the money... just do a K&N and that should be good enough for most people.
