Im in the market for a new intake, since my aem cai is gettin worn, I need to replace it, flat out which provides more gains, and whats the pricing on the two?

 

Was the AEM v2 even released yet?

 

aem v2 is out


but what do you mean your AEM is getting worn? YOu realize the filter will last you for life? You are suppose to be cleaning it.

If it's torn up to bad, you can just buy a new filter for like 30$


it would be absolutely pointless to go get a new one, you won't get anymore gain out of them.

 

That worries me a bit too. I figured that with occasional filter cleanings I'd be good for life with the AEM. How is yours worn out?

 

what worries you? btw, you should clean it every 4-6K

 

Just if there's any failures, I'd like to know about it - Seems like if the pipes cracked or something, lots of not-so-good-stuff could be sucked into the engine. I've heard about failures with the bypass valve, but none with the intake itself yet.

The intake has only been on the car for about 5k, so I'm just now starting to think about cleaning it. I've heard everything from yoru 4-6k miles, to once/yr to 25-30k miles, but I'll probably check it every 5k and clean it when it's dirty., but at least once/yr

 

the pipe has a hole from rubbin against the side.. i cut it for the bypass valve. its just.. lookin shitty. ;]

 

oh yeah. the filter was jsut fine I recharged it every so often

 

not for type-s.

 

i'm planning on getting a dyno done the 28th of this month. i have the ice box. I'll post the results later that day.

 

I have a v2 but i had to modify it from an accord just had to cut about 4 inchs and bend the mounting bracket a little. i think i felt a little slower of the line then the short ram i had maybe just my imagination because it not as loud

 

interesting. i suppose ill wait til the dyno results from both come in

 

I mentioned this before...it prob felt slower b/c it is! The V2 is a tuned CAI design...by cutting 4"s off you prob messed the gains up.

 

v2 aint shit better, its just markeing bullshit to get urr money

 

my only engine mod on my 01 is the icebox, and on cold nights i chirp 2nd, when as stock i didn't. i mean cold nights as 65~70 F

 

arent they bout the same price

 

huh?

 

buy a v6 accord one and cut it a little shorter

 

the pipe diameter is smaller for an accord, isn't it? how could that possibly be beneficial?

 

where the pipe goes down it rubbed against the metal, so theres a hole, and plus i cut it near the tb for the bypass valve. anyway. yeah..

 

How do you clean the aem?

my brothers is overdue for a cleaning

 

go to any auto store and find the K&N filters. They have a thing called a recharging kit, it's about 10$. The cleaning instructions are inside

 

thank you

 

iono clean urs, ne ways aem sounds hell nice
