I am looking at buying a air intake for my EK Hatch I am looking at the AEM ones either the cold air or the V2 ones I am wondering do anyone on here use the V2 ones if so what do you think , also can you post pics.

Thank you

 

just get the regular cold air intake, if at all possible try to get the ITR CAI. for the record i dont hear a lot of positive insights about the V2.

 

an intake is an intake dont spend $300 on one......spend like $20-$30.

 

Unless its a whale *****, then you can spend the $350 and say "****, Im so JDM my intake is made out of carbon fiber" However, I say "****, Im more JDM than that guy cause mine is made out of Kevlar"....it really is.

lol wow
kevlar looks good
lol

 

Password just came out with the Carbon Kevlar intake. I Unpacked one the other day at a shop. It looks cool, but it has alot of flaws.

 

if i remeber connect the tube of V2 for civic is 3 pieces ,for S2000 is only piece,thats the think i dont like and prefer the standard cold air

 

it dont matter really i personally think the short ram is good enough

 

I use the V2 and I can feel the added power through out the entire rpm range. It is also cold to the touch after driving for a while. Not to mention it sounds great... not to loud but you can deffinatly hear the whistle when it's taking in its air.

Yep on my GSR its nice the whistle I do have the one for my 92-95 laying around i may sell it for the right offer

 

has anyone switched from a short ram to a V2? I'm curious about whether the V2 is worth the extra bux.

eh, they're not much used and you get the benefits of cold air as long as it doesn't rain TOO much or flood where you live. here's mine on my 96 gsr that came with the car:


it's for SALE!!!

 

unless you're in cali and need to be carb legal
or building a show car that has to have name brands on everything, its not worth the money to buy a name brand intake.

the only difference is they tend to come with a real k&n filter, your best bet would be to find one you like on ebay and exchange the filter for a real k&n.

Just get one off of ebay dude I just picked up a AEM CAI for $44 shipped. Works great for the money I got in it but I would never pay $300-350 for a new one. I'll save that money for my turbo later hehe

 

i read the topic of this thread and instantly thought to myself "waste of money"

 

How many times must I say this today? Short ram + velocity stack = dyno proven power. And you save like $200.

i guess today is an intake day like every other day is an exhaust say. people need to search this ****.

 

this may be a stupid question...

how do you prevent outside debris from getting sucked into the intake manifold with a velocity stack?

unless your in a carb state then buy a used aem/carb intake...

by putting a filter on it

 

I swear, I post this picture once a week.

BPi Velocity/K&N Filter + AutoZone short ram.



Whole thing was like $100

 

Nice intake

but i thought that the velocity stack is like a trumpet horn looking think that connects to the end of the intake pipe... thought it would be just open with no filter

It is, technically. K&N makes a special filter to fit over the end, i.e. the one I have pictured.
