Ultimate intake discussion (What Intake Should I Get)

[KidnKorner]

I'd like to offer up correction to the AEM part of this. Their revised design is not a V2 intake. People were labeling that because it was their second version or second attempt. This revised intake is still a cold air unit and AEM's V2 Units are short ram designs.

nice write up, i just wish the gruppe m intake was not 1200$... oh well

[FlatlineSi28]

some interesting boxes

[ASHRAF]

I'm thinking about swapping out my Injen SRI for a fujita SRI, many SC'd users recommended doing this, and I think the reason that reduce bogging is the angle of the Fujita being smoother than the Injen, that's just my guess, and I need someone to back it up, or prove me wrong

anyone knows where can I get the fujita SRI in black, corsport doesn't seem to have them

BTW, NitrousG35, awesome write up, as always

They have them, just put "Wrinkle Black" in the notes when you order one. They where on back order last week, hopefully mine will ship this week!

i like your cowl nitrous, very interesting..
im torn between the AEM CAI and the K&N's V2 SRI...

[projectk20si]

fantastic write up

[mattsbobo]

Hopefully, I'll have something interesting to add to this thread within the next month. Sorry for the tease 8th family

[pyro134si]

so id like some opinions on what everyone thinks is the best SRI? take into acct heat soak, overall performance and sound

[TurboBlue]

I can't seem to find any info on this but is AEM's V2 an SRI or a CAI? And are there even any for an '07 fg2? I only see them available up till the '05 Si. Any clues on this?

I changed the thread and put the regular AEM SRI in place of the V2. It seemed like a V2 was out, but it is something that will likely come in the future. Thanks.

All V2 intakes are Short Ram.

AEM makes 3 lines of intakes, Cold Air, Short Ram, and V2. For the 8th Gen civic only the Cold Air and Short Ram are available. The intake that was incorrectly labeled as a "V2" intake in the creation of this thread is in fact not a "V2" intake but a revised design of their cold air intake. The revision includes "vanes" to help the MAF sensor obtain accurate readings. This revision is a response to the numerous customer reported problems of a check engine light and throttle lag.

Some people have chosen to label or call this intake a V2 because it is a second version. Too bad the erroneous information goes uncorrected.

hahaha your sig is so true....but hey we gotta make money somewherez....

Ah..thank you. That does clear up the confusion i was having. I did hear some good things about the V2 hence i was interested...but we'll just have to wait for our turn i suppose.

The reason I called it that is because Mattelis received one from Z1 performance. He called it "V2". I just used his information. I never started the idea of using V2 FYI.

It's not the 1st time I mentioned it in this thread. What good is posting invalidated and erroneous info? You even went and posted a pic of a AEM V2 intake.

OK, I made a correction. Give it up please. You have made your point.

[FastTimesAtFGHigh]

how about the "prototype" ARC Magic intake??

[NitrousG35]

^ I saw that about a year ago, but they seemed to have dropped interest in that intake. If you have info that it is going to be produced, I will include it in the thread.
