Honda Car Forum

Ok so i was lookin throught the web and i see that alot of the RSX have an injen CAI. I always thought AEM V2 was the best money could buy... I have an 05 type s.... Whats the best intake money could by???what is the more expensive and better?? money is no object (for an intake anyway). I can spend up to 600$I live in arizona.... THere is no rain here!!! theres like 10inches a year... THe only thing is that it gets like 115 degrees here.

i would say AEM v2 is pretty good. theres always more expensive n better.

go with the Injen CAI. it has a bigger tubing than the v2

i got the same car. nighthawk pearl! haha. check out www.clubrsx.com they got a lot of good info there. Injen products are better than AEM. i use to think the other way around too, but Injen products fit a lot better. the V2 rubs.

It depends on what you are after they both give you proformance but its a win/lose type of thing. with the CAI you get better HP gains but you loose throttle response. now with a AEM v2 you get less HP but you get better throttle response.If you have k-pro you can tune out the throttle lag when using anyintake like a CAI. the you come to the issue where heatsocking is involved as well as the chance of hydrolocking the engine, so still win/loose situation. CAI will not heat soak while there is a greater chance of hydrolocking(only in a place where it rains alot, i run a Fujita F5 CAI for almost 2 years, and drive in the rain with no fear of hydrolocking) when you get a V2 or any SRI there is no hydrolocking(unless you get water up to mid engine level) but you get really bad heat soaking in the heat.So really it what you want to do, go to clubrsx.com there are thousands and thousands of people who have asked the same and they all get the same answer. **As far as fitment issues CAI can be in the way when shifting to 5th and V2 can rub on the same place as well at the hood or vibramount area...all are user install problems, install it right and you dont have any fitment problems.

There is a JDM "Toga" Cold air intake system that is completely bolt on. goolge it. biggest gain of horsepower yet out of any other system I've read about

why dont you check out the comptech website, the performance parts are designed to fit the car properly and were also designed with honda/acura so as to not void the warranty, direct bolt on parts

comptech's outta business so dont buy there. as far as which, go Injen CAI as long as u dont have to worry about hydrolock (sucking water into your intake from driving through a big puddle) otherwise listen to TecBlaze, he knows what hes talking about, i agree with him 100%, cept u should have no filament issues with 05

Look on Team-integra.net.The best intake the money can buy is an intercooled turbo.
