AEM V2 or AEM CAI
Hey guys i have a 99 ex 5-speed, would you recommend i get a aem cai with a bypass valve (i dont want my engine to get hydro locked) or a aem v2? i care about power but i would rather go with something that is better for my engine, because i really dont know much about the v2s. Does anyone know how safe they are about sucking up water? I found some good deals for both on ebay. Thanks for the help.

RE: AEM V2 or AEM CAI
I am not fussing at you Magic, but this exact question has been answered about 50 times in the past month alone. I know you just joined and you didn't see any of the threads, but when you wonder about something as common as intakes, do a search for it first and then if you don't understand something or still can't decide, then come back and ask us.
But since I am already typing in here... V2's are not CAI so you wouldn't have to worry about hydrolock. The V2 also outperforms the traditional CAI anyway. Put on a water bypass valve that robs a CAI of 2-3 Hp and the choice become quite obvious. In my opinion Intakes are ranked like this: 1. AEM V2 2. Weapon-R Secret Weapon 3. Injen Hybrid 4. AEM CAI 5. K&N SRI 6. Stock airbox w/ K&N filter 7. A gift wrap tube with some balled up gift wrapping on the end 8. A piece of PVC with a paper towel 9. Stuff a shop rag directly into your throttle body 10. Any CAI with a water bypass valve. |

hey, to any moderators or administators who put stuff on the site: you think you can put a thread at the top of this forum explaining the difference between a CAI, an SRI, a V2, all their advantages, and so on. This has been explained enough times. thanks.

V2 installed. http://photos22.flickr.com/30746966_a119400fd8.jpg And before you say, "That's not a Civic!" The install is the same on a Civic. Civic [IMG]local://upfiles/3358/E9AE58708D184ECB9F4DF76A00897EDD.jpg[/IMG] |

RE: AEM V2 or AEM CAI
hydrolock is overrated as a problem

RE: AEM V2 or AEM CAI
so the v2 doesn't go all the way down, it stays up like an sri[:-]

RE: AEM V2 or AEM CAI
i believe there is a cai and sr version of the v2
although i cant find the sr on the aem website im pretty sure this is right but you never no.. im a noob... :) |
