AEM V2 AIR INTAKE: ACCORD 98-02 4 CYL
how much hp is it gain if install that !!

I don't have an AEM, but I definitely notice an increase in the mid and upper rpm range (probably 3-5 hp). I went the Cheap route and bought a Bomz intake ($38) and then put a K&N filter ($50) on it. Worthwhile if you want a bit more power and don't mind a bit of noise.

Just turn up the radio, you won't notice.

with the stock audio set-up like mine, my V2 seems louder

What is the difference between the SRI and the V2 setup?

 

[Wildman]

sri = short ram intake = shorter piping, filter will sit near the battery

v2 = cai = cold air intake = longer piping, filter sits below the battery.

whole point of longer piping is to place the filter farther from the engine to try and reduce heat soak because colder air = denser air and more air = more power.

 

[Ominous8204]

Yea, I thought V2 was a form of the SRI

Per my invoice from TireRack and at AEM's site at one point.

hp = 7.9 gain at 6100rpm
trq = 9.5 gain at 4100rpm

I've owned all three of AEM's intake systems and I can definately say this one pulls like a mother - like none other. Above 4000rpm she really does pull. I had the OEM box on the car, no resonator, with a K&N filter prior to this -- and it clearly pulls much harder.

The numbers from AEM may infact be true. Remember these are peak gains, the power band is actually a bit less under the curve. BUt almost 10 ft-lbs. is freaken huge that low in the power band.

I'm getting one soon so i hope that its closer to 5hp than 3 ha ha

^There's no difference between 3 and 5 horsepower.

Good thing about the V2 is the piping diameters. Having two different diameters is supposedly what sets it apart from other CAI's. But let's face it, you put an intake like this on for sound...there is not much performance gain.
