just get the aem cai, most likely you wont "hydrolock" during rain; unless you submerge your filter in a puddle or something, go the with CAI if you want more high end power, and a v2 for stronger mid range. although the short rams can suffer "heatsoak" and maybe result in loss of power. Each has its ups and downs, i myself would choose a CAI over a v2. but depends on what you want.

 

v2 is like a shortram...so thats why u cant get the bypass for it...also u live in ca so u dont have to worry much about hydrolock

 

ty guys

 

ok so wait, if i have an ep3 your saying that i shouldnt get the V2?

i thought they were the best

if i just want to add about 10 hp with the v2 is that alright?

can some one please explain this to me...

 

doubt your gonna get 10 whp from a intake but.. the only way that bypass on the cold air works if it is compleatly submerged under water.(filter that is)

 

get the aem cai, and yes you can get more than 10whp from an intake for a rsx type s. it has been proven many of times. dont get a v2, too much heatsoak, you wont regret the cai

 

btw i have a 2003 rsx type s

 

no way you're getting 10hp.......but dont waste your money on a v2 intake get cheap piping off ebay and a K&N filter and itll be the same
