i have the original Top Fuel intake, and it is exactly liek the j's. j's took the design and added the CF to make it a rice boy's we dream.

they alos have another design, the power chamber, but it's a piece of ****


if you want the performance, just go with a copy and save a LOT of money

The fake J's use to be thought as a ricey piece too, but now it's the next intake to buy wagon.

We should dyno all these wicked intakes, see if rice products make power.

Someone was going to do a dyno comparison between the fake and the real J's intake, but I doubt the fake one will do as well as the real one.

I've got an SCO(fake J's) intake on my civic now, and for 70 bucks shipped its great. I just doubt it will do as well.

I don't thind we will see 17whp gains on a Hype R from the SCO like we have from the J's.

The fake is the exact copy of the ABS J's racing intake. The carbon fiber has diffrent bends. Here is the thread, nothing updated yet.

I'd like to see the dyno graph where an AEM makes more than 17whp on a Type R.

OMG I hope your not serious

17whp is a full 10% more power

you act like AEM has absolutely no R&D does absolutely no comparison testing and could not build a part this powerful

all of your assumptions are wrong

when AEM designs an intake now they generally spend some time on the dyno, the Top Fuel intake did not. It's based on ideas such as air chamber resevoirs and vortex generating filters, all ideas proven inferior to proper pipe design and filter placement

these are no different thant pro 1 or APC or a billion other chrome tubes with some new gadget

it's a scientific fact that airflow seperates from any surface with more than 15 degrees change in direction IE bend, where airflow sperates from a surface it causes turbulence. Turbulence negatively affects airflow ect ect ect

Why don't you PM ArinX and ask him about it. If I remember correctly, he is the one that did it.

There is a picture of the graph on this thread:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=925657

Also, everyone who has owned both says that throttle response on the J's is far superior to that of the AEM.

OMG you expect me to believe you when you post a bullshit dyno chart

did the intake magically raise his rev limiter another 400 RPM for the second run as well



By the way when has throttle response ever won a race for you ?

Even if that was the case then oh good the engine was able to much more quickly take in hot air from the engine bay

a loud noise does'nt mean throttle response either

Do you really think the result would have been a lot different if 400rpm diff wasn't there?

You are welcome to PM ArinX and call him a liar.

HELOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CHIPPED OR MODDED ECU does not equal going simply from one intake to another

I like how people are like "I'm running way lean/rich have busted spark plugs a bad O2 sensor - BUT WHEN I CHANGED TO A SIR AIR BOX ... and fixed the rest... I GOT 12 BILLION HP"

LOL


AEM CAI intake does have it's limits. It draws cold air from outside, but since it's so long, you lose the the top end power that a short ram air offers. Changing the piping length on your intake affects the the powerband and optimum power.
It's the same concept as intake manifold runner length.
