SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

Check out this article. The dyno results are given in numbers instead of graphs but, results are results.

Note: the Weapon-R "Dragon" is tested, not the Secret Weapon.

Yet Another Intake Dyno Test

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

the difference in peak total was 1hp more on the top SRI...for those too lazy to read up themselves.

NOTE: the highest on the CAI WAS NOT the AEM, the higest on the SRI WAS NOT the weapon R. maybe we've been looking about this wrong. but i still stand for the cold air. sorry :P

I am only here to present information and offer opinions, not to make up people's minds for them.

Unless you need me to make up your mind for you on stickers. I can do that.

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

haha yeah im just putting in my opinion too

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

different motors respond differently to different intakes... You will notice that some cars dont have a short ram or a cold air. Thats because no performance gains were found for whatever type wasnt made. So to say that one is better than another in general is irrelevant.

I love this review!:D


that AEM V2 isn't looking so good anymore

The V1 doesn't look that different.

proof again that AEM is better at marketing than R&D

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

i dont think thats bad at all. how much do you guys expect to get from an intake? a solid 4-6 hp across the board is awesome on an NA motor.

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

I agree that a 4-6 gain is good for something that is essentially a passive modification.

I'm just saying that the V2 isn't significantly better than their own V1 or many others that ARE significantly less expensive.


In fact compare it to the Weapon R SRI above 6000 rpm

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

IMO the V2 looks a lot better than the original (i dont think its called the V1) because all the original has is a spike down low and a gain up top. the V2 is a good solid gain all through the powerband

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

any noobs out there wondering, you can trust me in that the 50-100 dollar difference in price between this intake or that intake, is a drop in the bucket in a couple of years worth of modding. just get the best one you can afford right now, and be happy.

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

glad i cheaped out and returned my V2 on this civic for the SRI.. less money for more hp.. course thats if the D's have same results..

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

That dyno of the SRI looks better than the V1 and V2! I always thought my SRI had better pull up on the top end.

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

The engineers at AEM must be fools... the V2 is their flagship and it sucks compared to there own SRI.

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

ok....may be a stupid question but why don't they make a V2 for automatic transmissions???
Am I missing out on something here?

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

im happy with my aem sri. almost glad i didnt spend the extra $120+ on the v2 or any cai...

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

I was lucky enough to get my V2 for $150 used.

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

holy **** when did this come back?

just so you guys know...these dynos prove nothing. if they installed all these intakes on a fully built engine, then it would mean something...but a 1-2hp difference doesnt mean ****.

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

I would like to see AEM's test results that claim dynoing with the hood up gives more accurate to real life results.

RE: SRIs whoop up on CAIs
 

I hate intake debates..

Chances are you're not going to be able to feel the hp difference between any of them. It's more about increased throttle response than anything. However, the colder the air the better, so stand by the CAI being a better option. If not for power, than longetivity.
