Planning to get my intake....

Should I wait for AEM or get the INJEN on? People are telling me INJEN is better, my buddy with a AEM in his prelude is telling me AEM is better.


What to do?

yea, I read that thread, but it didn't really give me an insight on which is worth buying or waiting for.

I'm trying to see if I should wait for AEM to come out with a CAI or buy a INJEN now. Trying to see what other people feel about AEM CAIs.

Thanks though!

I don't think anyone has the AEM SRI, be the first

I ordered an AEM SRI last week. Still has not shipped though. It seems like no one has them in stock yet.

my friends company has them in stock. check the thread in the black market

Accu,

Does he/she have a website?

neither is really better.

Take two tubes.

Make them the same diameter and length and paint them differently. Hand them to people and ask them to give their opinions on them and they'll come back liking one over the other even though they are physically the same.

if DjElucid is talking about the AEM V2, then the design is not the same. V2 has a very different tubing design (2 different sizes). However, if he's talking about the AEM SRI, then I'd take the CAI over the SRI.

waiting for AEM V2 (but u gota be really patient on this one tho^^), like Jtso said...V2 is composed of 2 different pipes in order "to create multiple frequency sound waves that help charge the cylinders with air throughout the entire rpm range" (quote from www.aempower.com)

undoubtedly...V2's performance is always great!!!

Wow, V2 is impressive! Check out the results for the RSX-S:

Help me understand something please...If the intake pulls in more air, is the fuel mixture being adjusted somewhere to pull in more gas? I'd think that if you just put on a high flow intake, your engine would then run lean (more air, but same fuel).

I ride ATV's, and (with them) you get a benefit with a high flow intake, but it leans out the air/fuel ratio and the fix is a bigger jet for more gas to the engine. Of course, once you have more air and gas in, you then need a high flow way to get the air out...

Anyhow, just curious as I thought you always needed to do all three (air intake, more fuel, & exhaust out) to keep the engine balanced.

In a word, yes. That is the ECU's job.

He is correct. They are both very identical. It's just the Injen silicon tubings might be a little bit better. My opinion is that if they both cost the same. Go for Injen. But I know Injen is more expensive than AEM.....as least that's what my supplier told me.

I always thought it was the other way around....besides the price difference, the V2 is way better gains than the Injen CAI.
