does anyone have first hand expiernece on the aem v2. is it worth the money?

 

From what I've heard they still suffer from heat soak and their CAI is still the better deal.

 

I heard you cant put a bypass valve on it either

because for the accord, its not a CAI...and the multi width tubing, a bypass vavle would be too hard to fit

 

to me all it looks like is a 3in tube with a 3.5 or 4.0 chamber, we should get a diyer to make one and see if it gives the same results... but to me 200$'s for a intake is "Way" too over priced...

but its bling bling!!!.....this kinda technology (multiple diamerters) is used by K&N (i believe), and really makes a difference on big gas guzzeling V8's, not I4's....if u want bling, just get an AEM CAI....otherwise get tubing from EBAY, and then throw on a K&N Filter (A'pexi or Blitz if ur a JDM freak)

 

i was looking at aem's wonderfull stats of when you get more hourse power and tourqe and it was interesting from what i got from the charts that were not easy to read due to the lake of what is on the x axis and y but you only get gains in rpms above 8000 and how many of you go above 8000 rpms??? sure looks nice on the graph but read it close or maybe i read it wronge but if im right theya re worthless.

 

The fact still remains, honda's intake system is very efficient and you would probably get about the same gains with a drop in and removal of the resonator. Unless you are DOHC then intake would be very beneficial. IMO do a DIY project or buy a ebay tube and get a k&n like others said.

Paying 200 dollars for just an intake is not worth it, especially if its going to net 2-3whp

 

PVC DIY y0!

 

the other thing is, for 250-275$ for a intake, have anyone ever thought about port and polishing the TB? cost just about the same damn price that and a 15$ ebay intake youll be more than happy!
