I just saw this on http://www.speedoptions.com It's a new CAI from AEM. IT uses a diffrent design for better performance. It says that it outperforms ANY CAI on the market, INCLUDING their own 1st & 2nd GEN CAI. Here is the link,

Here is what it looks like...

 

looks just like the old one with bigger piping

 

Here is what it claims: "...the AEM V2 is able to create more horsepower and torque-across the entire rpm range-than any other air induction system." It doesn't really claim to make more high-end horsepower. I'm not trying to say the top-end horsepower is the end-all be-all of performance products. Just making an observation. I would like to see some dimensions of the product. Not that I will be buying one of these. I'm happy with my current aem itr cai.

 

Sounds like a crock of ****

 

good luck fitting it in the already tight space...

 

If that's what I think it is, it's crap. Larger piping then it instantly decreases in diameter before the TB. Unless the piping on the inside is smoothly tapering, it's crap.

 

Yea but for real AEM makes good intakes,I love my Ice box but you can't top the HP gains from AEM's current system now they've made it better!!! Give credit were its due,I still don't like the idea of a greater chance to hydro lock.But I bet it produces more WHP than any other intake on the market.

 

dont waste money on aem
injen cai is the best

 

InJeN 0wNz jo0!

 

if you don't have a CAI then i would get it. imo aem is the best.

 

I'm not going to say AEM is better, or Comptech is better, I would wait and see dyno results of the new AEM.

 

how much hp does a cold air intake give you anyways? 5? 7 at the wheels?
if oyu already h ave one it's not worth it to get a newer one. it cant be that much better. it's a ******* metal tube that sucks in air.

 

Agreed. It sounds to me like a big crock of **** too. As far as "name brands" Comptech's IceBox is the best, but that is simply because of the design and the fact that nobody has made a copy cat IceBox yet.

An intake itself, no matter what kind you get, will not be a big power adder, so the brand doesn't matter. You're probably a little more generous than I would be in your horsepower claim. 5-7 at the wheels? I would think only 2-3 if you are lucky.

 

at least It looks pretty

 

Bottom line is.... if you already have a CAI, then don't waste your money for 1-2 wHP gain over your current CAI. If you DON'T have a CAI, then you might want to wait and see how much power this new AEM CAI will give and then decide whether to get it or not...

 

i didn't want to offend the people who would complain if i said that

"My AeM cAi GaVe Me FiFtY HoRsEpOwEr wHeN i CrOsSeD oVeR iNtO V-TeCk, y0!!!"

and skunk2ner, good bottom line. i think we've cached this thread

How bout getting a real "air induction" system........ ie turbo :D

Sorry had to say it...

 

or a real tranny....ie manual.

 

Or REAL wheels.

 

or a real wing....should have just went with a park bench

 

Ouch. Well only right that I make fun of the slow er guys and rightfully get flammed back for my all to easy to bash auto trans and wing and 17" wheels....

Its ok if you don't like the way my car looks If I didn't say the turbo thing I'm sure someone would have, thats all.... ok enough of my pointless reply.

 

 

wouldnt the decreasing in diameter increase the air velosity producing more power?
