I was wondering what anybody experiences on the AEM V2 CAI. I was considering purchasing one sometime in September. Or would it be better to go with a cheaper or other brand name CAI. I just don't want to waste my money on the V2 if it ain't much better than other CAI"s.

 

The V2 is better than other CAI's but I still don't think it's worth the money.

 

I have one, but since it's still sitting in my living room, I can't tell you much about it. Got it for $215 on ebay, basically because I wanted to see what it's like. If I decide not to keep it I'll pull it out and sell it. We'll see.

 

How does the V2 compare to the RD 1550 CAI by Injen. I had a Injen CAI when i had my spec-v and it put out some power and good sound.

 

brand name intakes, like exhausts, really arent much different from each other. they all work and all work about the same

 

i gotta friend thats getting my a v2 cai for 70 bucks. its of course by AEM. heard nothing but good things about it.

 

I want to upgrade from my current short ram intake to a cold air intake. But I'm also leaning to get a header instead of the CAI. But I don't want a header where I'll have to make fabrications to get it to fit.

 

Why in the world would you need to fab anything to get your header to fit? Pretty much any D series header will fit any other D series head.

If you are trying to decide between upgrading from SRI to CAI, or keeping the SRI and getting a header, it's a no brainer


SRI + header pwns CAI

 

but what about a CAI and headers? wouldn't that be better in the long run? of course if you already have SRI i guess it would be better to go with headers and then just get a CAI later on down the road.

 

I was looking at the Pacesetter header and it said fabrication may be required.
