AEM Cold Air Intake

eidling · 02-26-2006, 02:48 PM

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone knows the exact horsepower an AEM CAI would add to the car as I'm looking to get one when my car comes in.

Personally i didnt feel any extra power when i installed mine but you hear it, and it sounds alot nicer than the stock box.

Do you think then that the cold air is worth purchasing considering it only adds 7 horsepower roughly? I have a hard time shelling out that kind of money for 7 horses. Anyone started making turbos or superchargers for the 06 yet?

Hey, its all psyhcological -- if it is in the car, maybe you will think your car is going faster.

I will wait for AEM to design a bypass valve for the Civic CAI. After the bypass is available, I will then put one in my car and not before.

spoke to them about a bypass valve...there's won't be one. period. they told be that it simply cannot be used at all and also they won't be a V2 application of any sought.

what makes the 06 Si so different that a bypass valve and a V2 application cannot be designed. It is and will probably be a very hot model.

if you look at how the cai is positioned in the car it cant be done, as for the v2 its because the new si has a sensor in the intake and i think you cant use that sensor with the v2
