AEM V2 Part#246100
Strength:
Approximately 16hp gain and 20lb per foot gain. Awesome sound more horse power better gas mileage(if you drive gently) it looks beatiful when you open your hood.
Weakness:
The price is a bit steep for an air intake. But quality comes first. You will lower some 0-2000 rpm torque, but after 2000, you can pick up quite nicely and make up for it. I placed with AEM V2 on a 2004 Honda Civic EX with a 127hp 1.7L VTEC. Later I found out this part suggest manual transmission only, but I can't tell anything because I still have lots of gains. The instructions were as simple as they could be told, but could have been better. Taking off the resonator stock was a pain, but once the AEM V2 was installed I could tell a difference right away. The car sounds like an angry V6 when punching it from idle. The lower RPMs sound very agressive and when you get to 3000 rpm you can feel the extra torque. When the car reaches 4000 rpm you can feel all the horse benefit. Now that my car has bigger nostrils I can race close to the redline with no other add-ons. Overall, you can't go wrong with this upgrade. Similar Products Used: Stock Air Intake |

Strength:
Great sound and the power difference is very noticable from stock
Weakness:
doesn't do much for lower RPM but other than that definately worth putting on your car When my friend and I put the intake on, I imediately felt a difference. Not only at higher RPM, but I love the sound. The only problem with the intake was that the filter they use was a piece of crap and broke right off the bat. But now that it's replaced, I'm quit pleased. Similar Products Used: none |

I got to say that cai owns sri. I have had this intake on for awhile now and still feel the power and nice sound during vtec it makes. CAI are great in general and I honestly brought it only because of the carb sticker. |

Strength:
Sounds great..looks great..acts great..is great..
Weakness:
Cheap filter.. and had to cut the intake..almost like watching your beloved pet go under some uncertain surgery.... it makes ya lose a lil horsepower..but like i said.. im picky and i want whats best for my car.. so.. had to get the BPV AEM CAI is a decent peace of equipment, I'ma very picky person, and i like whats best for my car, It was either this or the INJEN RACE DIVISION... I noticed the sound difference and gain in horsepower... but just like everyone else with a HONDA ACCORD... my filter broke, I replaced it with a RACTIVE Filter with heat sheild and it actually got ALOT deeper... I plan to an H22 in my accord this summer and i want the V2 intake as well.. hopefully it doesnt come with the cheap filter.. and I hope i wont suffer from hydrolock since it doesnt use the BPV Similar Products Used: Ractive filter w/heat sheild (if you've got an accord and your filter breaks, i recommend this!!!... makes intake even deeper and i believe it also helps prevent hydrolockage) |
