How much HP gain would the aem v2 gain?

3-5hp i would guess. it has a pretty nice sound too, unlike any other intake.

does the V2 come in short ram or just cold?

only short ram, which is better for the engine life.

Get the v2 if you want it. It is your car, not anyone elses. Bonus, its 50 state legal.

AEM V2 is the best bet... the filters are made of sum crazy material that doesnt give in to motor heat... a couple of my friends have had several other intakes and the filter heats up which demeans the purpose of cold air induction.. definately V2...

I'm thinking about getting the AEM SRI because that way I don't have to worry about hydrolocking my engine. I've heard numerous nightmares about that.

I don't have an intake yet, but how harmful are the general intakes ranging from $30-$60 on ebay?

Also What is the main purpose of intake? just Increase in Horsepower? Or there's more to it? And what about the sound?

its mostly for sound. if you get ebay intake, it doesnt always fit right so you may need to customize it a bit to make sure everything tight and fits properly. then you need a new filter like AEM dryflow cause the one it comes with sucks.

i dont reccomend those cheap intakes at all.. intakes are meant to better airflow to your engine for cleaner colder air... those cheap no brand eBay intakes are made of cheap material, the filters are cheaply put together and the tube heats up so it demeans the purpose of the cold air and all that... the sound is a plus... but it is really for better airflo, helps the engine 'breathe' better!

I had a V2 on my 02 EX and I recall that it seemed to bog more in the lower RPM range but it screamed while after VTEC engaged.
