right now i have dibs on other sites for 2 different intakes.. i dont know which one i should go for...

1. AEM V2 but half an inch cut off because the previous owner had the helix tb spacer...

2. Comptech Icebox for v6 accord ..

i have not seen anybody with an comptech icebox on first gens..

does anyone have their pros and cons on these intakes and which one i should get

both asking for same price..

 

and if you have a v2... i wanna know all the bad stuff about it.. i heard it hums.. but why does it hum?.. is the intake rattling against something?.. and is it perfect fitment?

 

the V2 is awsome! the hum you are talking about only occurs at wide open throttle, and its more of a growel than a humm

 

yea i like the look of the v2 better.. but i also know comptech makes quality parts for acura and honda...
i dont want my intake to be that loud... only when i floor it...
still confused.. thanks for input though.. anymore?

 

wide open throttle = flooring it

its not loud any other time except WOT

 

sounds pretty good.. did you feel a difference and get any extra gas milage?

 

where are you getting these parts?

im interested in the ice box.

 

If you listen closely, you can hear a slight hum at idle. It'll roar when you floor it.

V2 looks better of course, Comptech looks more stock.

Go with the V2, unless the weld in the cut is not the best.

 

i definately feel a difference and gas milage is insane, i get 300miles per tank of gas

2 days ago i drove from buffalo to rochester and back, 130 miles on 1/4 tank of gas... thats 40mpg baby!!!

 

I just got the V2 in my 97 3.0 about 2 weeks ago.
Definitely exceeded my expectations.... Little hum at normal accelaration and growls when you wanna let the car next to you you're there. Oh and the gas mileage is better as they said above...unless your flooring it all the time...

 

i get 300 mpg and i floor it all the time

 

NATO, what is the site that your looking at to buy your v2? Also, does this cold intake system really increase your mpg by like 10 or 12 cause that seems like a lot, especially in the long run.

 

haha i'll keep it my little secret.... j.k
if you guys have 3.0's i really suggest you go on v6p.. those guys get rid of the v6 stuff like no tomorrow...
thats where i got both dibs on the intakes..
Im only going to get one.. so one of you guys can get the other..

 

i believe the guy is selling his comptech icebox for 100... and btw on ebay its 279 plus shipping USD

 

Seems like everyone has good stuff to say about V2 ... i just wanna know if anyone has Icebox.. and if anyone has anything good to say about that?.. will it even fit?

sorry for the post whoreing.. i tried to edit but theres no edit.. and i feel i had to add this due to this thread being onesided towards v2...

 

you've been quite talkative lately......





-

but for real though - i want that ice box.

where is the guy located. i definately am gonna buy that bad boy.

 

one of them is in cali i think.. the v2 guy.. not sure about the icebox

yep.. this is the summer im doing everything to my car.. i promised myself i wouldnt dump money into it next year.. so im going to do everything this summer thats why im whoreing..
haha

 

definately get the V2, I had it and LOVEd it. Here in Charlotte I was getting 360-380 miles per tank after my V2 and new plugs.

I don't know why he cut the V2, make sure he cut it at the end, don't buy a re-welded intake, it messes up the flow. When I have my V2 and helix spacer, they all fit fine.

 

wow really?.. dont know why he cut it then.. i hope it doesent mess up the flow or nothing.. im going to get both and try it out..
thats right you heard me right.. im buying both

 

300 mpg!! thats F'in amazing. I only get about 35 miles per gallon. i need your intake

 

LOL oops, i meant 300 miles per tank so thats about 23 mpg

 

Get the AEM V2.

 

Seriously though, divine's right, get the v2

 

Alright i'll take your advice.. i'll put in the V2 as soon as i get it..

 

did i tell you guys i got ripped off for a v2 before...
i hope i dont get ripped off again.. i sent money order to this guy and never got the product.

but this time its paypal.. hopefully i dont get scammed

 

so you're not getting both of them?

 

i paid for both alreadly.. just im going to install the v2 ... probably drive it this month.. and if im satisfied.. im not even going to bother changing it... but if i dont like it i'll put in the comptech
