performance compared to any other intakes??



anything wud help thanks

 

are you serious???

read my quote

exclude the bump part

 

It's just JDM bling, it is not worth the price. Granted it will perform marginally better than a stock intake, there are better, more reasonably priced intakes available. For the best performance you will want to get a tuned length and size intake, however that is not always affordable or suitable for everyone; so, a reasonably priced intake, that performs well of a broad variety of engines would be a three inch intake with a velocity stack.

 

aem v2 is a great intake.
inless your rich then arc lol

 

Any reasoning behind this intake? Independent dyno results showing that is performs better that other "shelf" intakes?

Also, remember that with a cold air intake there is the possibility of hydrolock, so be VERY attentive when you are driving in the rain, or get a bypass, or switch to a short ram or stock intake during the inclamate weather season(s).

 

what?
no where does it say it performs better. and it is an off the shelf intake.
what i ment to put is arc is not worth the price compared to the v2 inless your rich and want the look.

 

If you read my first post you would see that I too said that the ARC intake is not worth the price and I am fully aware that the AEM V2 is an off the shelf intake, but what I am getting at is why should someone get the AEM V2 intake (which you are suggesting) over another intake [Injen, Comptech, Samco, Ebay 3 inch intake, etc.(all of which I would personally combine with a velocty stack)]? You seem adamant about persuading the op to purchase the AEM V2 intake, but why should he/she when it is uncertain that it outperforms brands X,Y or Z intake system; after all, you said "no where does it say it performs better" so why should someone purchase an intake that may or may not perform well?

 

dyno test showed stocc makes more then the arc

 

Short ram with a velocity stack, or an AEM 3 inch are the most powerful off the shelf pieces.

k koo ya i jus wanted sumthin diff cause i had an AEM SHORT RAM intake in my blue em1 and it did the job but i was jus wondering if any1 knew how the ARC INTAKE performs.thanks tho ima prob. jus stick wit the aem or stock intake wit an intake manifold and say **** it.

 

just put an ebay one on there then. its like $30 and they arent bad. Unless your really trying to squeeze out HP. If you just want a little boost Ebay intakes are fine.

 

you been sipping a little to much hator-ade

 

I personally love the way it looks in the bay. but if your strapped for cash then yea an ebay intake would do the same job.
