How does it compare to other CAI's? And does anyone have numbers on gains for a 5th gen prelude?

 

from everything i have ready.....not worth the money...get a cai from ebay and slap on a k&n filter.

 

buy the type-s intake i heard its better than most aftermarket unless you want the sound then listen to hOndafienD

 

i never read up on the type s...so i wouldnt know about that one...i wouldnt know its gains, and if its worth the money and such.....but as far as aftermarket...i'd go with what i said...

just need a really good filter thats all you need

 

How much are K&N Filters? Wheres the best place to buy?

 

auto zone maybe

 

Buy the filter from Summitracing.com

Also, the differences in the Type-S intake are minimal; the Type-S will have slightly more low/mid end torque and the 3" aftermarket intakes will have slightly more top-end.

 

ebay intake all the way with good filter, you can get them at most automotive shops

 

dont drive thru puddles or go offroading like some ppl do with there CAI's

 

werd, this is the best route. V2 just sounds louder, no extra power gain

 

^^^^ couldnt be more true....sounds better...on my buddies b20/vtec we noticed no gains what so ever from cai and v2...

 

Ebay with a K&N filter is the best route. The others are just louder like said.

 

I have the V2, I love it.

Yes, it is rather expensive... but it's great.

If you want to be patient, I'm going to sell mine as soon as my turbo is up & running.

 

I was thinking of buying the V2. I got the regular AEM cai right now cuz it came with the car when I bought it. I wish I could just go the ebay way. However, I need that damn carb exempt bull shi#. After driving thru some flooded streets (luckily I was using my parent's mini van at the time) I got a lil scared about cai. Sometimes its just hard to avoid the puddles and such...unless you got two cars then its easy. So now, its either a regular AEM short ram or the AEM V2 for me...I want the V2, but damn 260+tax+shipping

Also, some people might tell you..just put it in neutral and coast thru the flooded street. YEAHHH right, when I did happen to drive into deeper, unavoidable water, the whole damn car slows to a stop..and that's when it wasn't even in neutral but was still in drive(was in my van not me car hell no!)..unless of course the puddle or whatever is hella short...

Yeah I know... It is a lot. I was able to get it because school was out and I was working two jobs. Felt like splurging.

 

IM about to do the same....simple reason for me tho carb exempt...plus I don't want the regular AEM short ram. Also cuz I wanna hear how it sounds, dumb reason to spend a lot of money, but oh well...I'll make someone pay for some of it haha..arright later

Also, about the gains, I think AEM or some shop online has a dyno sheet of a prelude with the V2 vs their regular cai..I'll try and find the link later.

 

It sounds magnificent.

if you think that sounds good, you should try hearing a SRI on a lude........or some ITB's

 

SRI, I have... ITB's, I have yet to hear.

Search n00b

 

so your saying sri sounds better than the v2, just louder? I heard the V2 is deeper sounding

enough of that, my main question now is, when I check online such as optionimports.com or say..modacar.com as an example, the part number for the AEM V2 for a Prelude is AEM-24-6006C but when I check AEM's website, they say its AEM-24-6005...okay wtf? so who should I believe.

 

i got a v2 in my 4th gen i love it great sound and i actually noticed a lil more hmph when i get high rpms when i pushed pedal to the floop i would recommend i mean yes its rather expensive but i would say well worth it
