the v2 for the 94-97 accord is not cai and it's not worth the money.

i got mine from modacar.com

to be honest, name brand intakes are mainly for the bling bling effect.......Most of the time (not always) ur just as good off if u get some no brand piping on EBAY and then get a good K&N, HKS, or AEM filter

do you know of any intakes that put out just as much as aem? but just not a name brand? if so got a link?
modacar.com has my intake for 185$ so i guess im better off with the 150$ w/ free shipping

ur gonna get MAYB 1-2hp out the intake......and if u install it right (unlike me) and keep off flooring it ull get better gas milege.......CAI's will also make the car sound alot more agressive (specialy at higher rpm and throttle) ive come to the conclusion that an intake is an intake.......if u wanna shell out $150 for the proven name brand, thats a good idea (what i did) or if u wanna get some no brand piping w/ a GOOD filter, ur good to go as well

post a pick of a dyno that u witnessed w/ ONLY intake and tell me that u get 5-8hp.....trust me, those are usually run on Cali cars w/ more restrictive emissions.....if ur seeing it off a V6 accord, the gain is bigger just cause of the engine and intake design on the V6......trust me, ur not gonna see very big gains at all......

congragulations newb......u found a dyno chart put out by the company that makes the product.....why dont u ask people who actually have installed them.......ur not gonna get that much more power, and if u do, itll be outa ur normal powerband, so its useless......dude, no one is attacking you, just dont act like ur the **** cause u found some dyno charts

AEM = quality w/ bling
EBAY = Cheaper

i wouldnt go there, although my love for homedepot is still in my heart.

go with cheap ebay stuff, they should be around 50 shipped and there get a good filter so your engine wouldnt take in unfiltered air.

i got my used aem in excellent shape for 80 shipped in ebay, smog legal and bling for low price.

1-2 whp sounds just right for a stock car with cai but please do consider the entire powerband before the peak hp tho'

not sure what you are looking to spend at this point, but i found dc sports short ram intakes for $80 shipped--due to AEM buying out dc sports.

found them on http://www.optionsauto.com
