They all make within 1 +/- hp of each other, you aren't going to feel a difference. You're not going to gain more than 3 hp. It's all up to your preference.

For the money I'd go with PW. Honestly it all comes down to cosmetics and what you like best. Intakes don't really make much power....jsut alot of noise.

The Password intake is nice, so is the AEM v2. These two both balance out the intake wave length to produce nice gains as well as sound incredible.

I have the Password Power Chamber C.F. intake and I am about to dyno it. I'll let you know if it makes a differance. Put something nice on your car. Its easy to throw a bunch of crap at it and say who cares but I dont think you would be on this forum if you didn't want to make your car something you could be proud of.

Are there any dyno comparisons between the Password JDM vs the AEM V2? I have the V2 now but I am thinking of selling it cause I had a hydrolock few weeks ago, thanks to hurricane Dennis. I really like the V2 though, after getting the water out my motor and reverting to SRI. . .there is a definite feel of power loss.

Stating that "every intake is w/in 1hp of each other" is not accurate. That may be the case at peak power for a variety of intakes, but for some people, there's more important areas of the curve to concentrate on.

Every motor is different, there is no "best" intake for any car. Some will make more power in the midrange, others, more power on the top end. I've used a number of intakes on my motors, from shorty's to CAI, and the J's. The motor I'm putting together now is aimed more at usable midrange power, from 5-8k (will be revved out to 9,500) and the AEM CAI delivers in that area, much better than the J's.
Here's an example on an ITR motor, obviously your motor is different, as it's a 1.6, but the point being that doing research and learning what will make power at a specific sweep of the power curve might make your decision easier: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1194128.
