just installed v2 intake
i absolutely love this intake. under w.o.t. u can really hear it and wat else can i say it was absolutely worth it. i do feel da lil difference in throttle response and all. i recommend this intake. 
it didnt really take long to install just alittle readjustin of thing here n there n there u go new intake. oh for those who said an v2intake can not b put into a 99 bc of the tb, i can be done, remember its rubber it can stretch.

My car has an Icebox (along with headers and pulleys) and puts out 230hp at the wheel. That's a fact.
Let's see similar numbers with a simple resonator removal (and H/P). I've been here since 2001 and I've yet to see numbers like that....

Wondering if anyone else put a bypass on their V2? If so does it really reduce the humming, and does it sound the same up in vtec range? Thought I read a post somewhere where the v2 fell apart from having the bypass installed on it. Please PM me if you have and it worked for you. Thanks

I have a 2002 TLS SO the V2 wont fit my car? and if NOT what si the best intake besides the ICEBOX?

well what do you mean by best? If you are talking about power - than the Icebox, but for sound, get the regular CAI. And Im sure the power differences are minimal.

if you have a TLS get a regular AEM CAI, or a injen RD
i personally dont like iceboxes, tehy look really boring and make no noise at all....i love the roar that the other intakes give

why a bypass valve... do you really think you'll completely submerge the filter? ... and
"AEM V2 Intake Air Induction Systems utilize a dual chamber to create multiple frequency sound waves. The installation of the AEM Bypass Valve would disrupt the tuning of these systems. Therefore the bypass valve should not be used."
oh and what's the humming? ... i know my friend put an aem into his spec-v ... and had some humming from the intake vibrating on something or other... took a t-shirt tore it up and wrapped it around the intake and now it's quiet... just a though

I got that same hum sound with my V2 intake as when I had the stock setup after I took that small resonator off. Who knows why, but you get that sound with some intakes with our cars.

To LightningSTL26
You installed it in the red circle there right?
To ou sig
I know that the pipe is bigger than the standard CAI from aem. But the piece that connects to the trottle body and then to the 3" pipe is still a 2.5" and the bypass would fit this.
That was older versions of the bypass valve that fell apart and got stuck, they have fixed that problem now, and while I have seen those stories I thought I also heard that the v2 itself fell apart after having the bypass installed, but I dont see how this is possible. Its just two pipes welded together, I can understand that if it is tuned to provide the best air flow that a break in the pipe wall would disrupt this, which is why they do not make a bypass for the v2.
Has anyone else besides lightning installed a bypass on there v2? not really into having to cut it apart to find out that it wont work for me.
Thanks for any help.

Tell that the hundreds of people that have hydrolocked there motor from a CAI. Its pretty simple. If you live in a tropical area you should be running a bypass. I dont even know how well they work, but it has to be better than having no bypass.

At idle, the engine wont make enough vacuum to pull any water in if you just coast through.
How do you gauge how deep water is while driving? After you answer that, How do you gauge how deep water is at night or even see the water?
If you live in a tropical area, why even risk it? SRI or Bypass if they even work

On the V2, the filter is pretty high, you'd have to go through water past your lugnuts 
to submerge it.
I think the problem with putting a bypass on a V2 may be also that the V2 is only held on at the TB and the little bracket above the filter, there's nothing supporting the middle of it. You cut the pipe and put a flexible bypass there, what do you think will happen when the engine rocks back and forth under load?
If you want an intake with provision to use a bypass, get one that's designed to use a bypass.

and the bypass valve takes away all the HP gain that you get with a CAI, so if you are that worried about it, save the money and get a SRI or spend the same and get the Icebox with the more HP over a CAI with a bypass valve
