Default AEM V2 CAI or INJEN CAI for RSX Type-S

I'm looking to buy a cold air intake for my RSX-S and I'm down to two...

The dyno sheets show the V2 gives the car more horse power (20hp). The dyno for the INJEN CAI shows a gain of 9hp but the polished look is sweet.

What do you all recommend?

if you have no problems with taking off your bumper, then go with the Injen CAI. that's proven performance. V2 is still skeptical. It's been dynoed to get UP TO 20whp. key term "UP TO"

edo's V2 comparison vs AEM CAI showed a diff of 4whp peak and 0.3wtq peak.


he had vtec set at 4100 though.

The intake was the first mod i got. I tried the injen cold air, it made good power the sound was good, but i just didn't see the track performance. I was running 15.3 at 94 mph was a 2.5 60ft on the stock tires. Once i installed the V2 my 60ft was almost 2.2. I hit a 2.309 60ft and ran a 15.1 at 90 mph. The V2 puts out the performance. Plus the sound is awsome.
