I know! I was happy to find it. So do you think I should just get the V2? I've heard it sounds better too (not like that matters). Here is the link for the V2:

i would personaly still go with the injen. even if the aem is only 40 bux more, i could use the 40 bux to do somthing other than make an extra half a hp

I would actually only save $20 going with the injen over the AEM. How small does the difference have to be before you would go with the AEM?

jon · 03-10-2005, 01:53 AM

you would not know the difference

i forget where it is on these forums, but Mike SHO has a great post on the V2 intake somewhere, you should read that first.

i actually have an AEM short ram on my civic, and while i'm completely satisfied by it, i'd say go with the Injen. that $20, that'll almost buy me an oil change (4 quarts of synthetic oil and a K&N filter is expensive!), which i'd rather have.

you might just try browsing around on eBay. i got my AEM used for $60, i've seen new Injen short rams go for about $25 more (AEM short rams usually sell for $100 shipped on eBay, Injens for $85 shipped, and they're pretty much the same thing).

Well I've decided if I'm going to save money I might as well just get the cai from aem or injen. I would rather get a cai than a sri. The cai will knock off a significant amount of money from the v2. I just got caught up in the hype of the v2 and felt that it was worth the money. Now I have to find a good deal on a cai.

Get a ebay CAI and spray it with heat resistant paint.

Or just go turbo. My.02

before you jump on a cold air, i'd suggest you read around the forums a bit. there's a lot of threads dealing with the whole cold air vs. short ram debate which you might find quite informative.

I figured that the cai was better performance wise and the only reason people got the sri was because it was cheaper and they couldn't justify getting a cai.

KJMagnum · 03-10-2005, 06:10 PM

OK I found a local dealer that has the injen rd series cai on sale for $190. Should I get it?

KJMagnum · 03-10-2005, 06:16 PM

The same dealer also has the injen is sri for $120 but I dont know if the savings is worth the performance drop.

VtecAddict · 03-10-2005, 07:47 PM

Thats pretty expensive for both of those pieces.

KJMagnum · 03-10-2005, 07:48 PM

Do you know where I can get them shipped for cheaper than that?

KJMagnum · 03-10-2005, 08:02 PM

Also in addition to intake Im looking at an exhaust setup. I found both the apex'i world sport 2 and the magnaflow cat-back to be good for their price (both $370). Which one is better?
