OMG, search for it and you will find dyno graphs for both.

As always AEM. I have seen graphs and injen is not as good overall in the powerband and the AEM "hump" is better.

It'll still be slow as **** regardless. Save your money for a turbo kit or a swap.

Thats what I did, **** paying like 200 bucks, I'll stick with my autozone pipe and K&N filter.

I have the V2 on my Civic and if nothing else, the V2 sounds way sweet compared to other intakes on the market. It's kind of hard to actually feel much of a difference in power though, but that gonna be true with any intake.

i suggest you just buy a generic no-name brand intake and just paint it with high temperature paint. with a k&n filter. it will own injen and aem.

i bought the v2 for my b16 back when they first came out, but have since regretted it big time. the intake makes your car sound like it has more ***** then it really does, and you won't feel a thing from one intake to the next. about the only good thing you will get from the v2 is the bragging rights of saying you have a 275$ filter on a stick.

go with what the other guys were saying, save up for some real power.
