AEM Rep says "Don't Use the V2!"..H-E-L-P!

Nothing against people that have a V2 but stop steering this guy in the wrong direction. The HP or sound difference between the V2 and the rest is so small that you cant even feel/hear it. The V2 is a marketing strategy which is working......big time. Its a tube with a filter on it??!! I have an idea pay less for a AEM or INJEN quality CAI which is designed for your car. The HP is not as noticable as the sound is. Im telling you, dont waste your time messing with a V2. Its a buncha bullshit.
And the V2 is not designed because of hydro-lock concerns. It is dual chambered for different reasons:

Call it marketing all you want but if the product delivers it's claims and it works. I agree in terms of cost of materials etc. it is overpriced. Still no Ebay filter will compare. Is it worth the difference from stock? Absolutely. Is it worth the upgrade V1?......OK that part is debatable IMO. As for me, I am happy. So I think so.
So either I have a huge imagination or my car is a lot faster because of some other fluke. I will go head to head with ANY stock TL. If I lose I will eat my shoe.

Since we are in the topic of AEM V2s, I have a n00b question. The V2 isn't listed on the AEM website... what exactly is the model number for the part? does it originally belong to a V6 Accord or such? (I'm trying to get one for my '04 TL, and my local vendor says they can't find a V2 for the '04 TL)
much thanks

^Not sure which generation. There's an intake on AEM's site that looks like a V2, but I think the brackets are in different locations.

If you look at pictures of the V2, they're different.

It's listed for the Accord and engineered for that application by AEM (the gist of the OP's original post). You can find it by searching 2005 Honda Accord on AEM's website and look for the dual-chamber intake, they don't really refer to it that much as the "V2".
It CAN be installed on the TL though. So the whole debate really is whether it really SHOULD be used on the TL. And there are people on both sides of this fence. Make your own decision......But I'd recommend to experience the results before making up your mind.

Well, if it works on the TL, why not use it? I think there might be a clearance issue on the TL-S, but it should be fine on the base.

^ Read through the thread - what he means is the emissions ratings (CARB, if I am not mistaken) being not met if installed into the 3G TL. Clearance issues aside, it IS illegal in certain parts of America (and Canada for that matter) where there are strict emissions standards in place.

Well AEM lists on their website most (if not all) of their intakes as being CARB exempt, including ones designed for the TL.
Anyways, good luck with your future purchase with the V2 tc_terencec. Sounds like it's a good choice for both sound and a bit of a HP boost.
