Dammit I love my V2

I did a full ground upgrade and installed an AEM V2 intake and damn from 4500 upward the car feels so much more lively... Also the sound is f'n sweet... I HIGHLY recommend the AEM V2 for LX/DX owners... I haven't heard EX owners have as good results... but for my car... I've been extremely happy with it...

I had the V2 for 4 months, and then it broke... I cant upload the pictures here b/c they are about 1.5 megs each. If you want pics or details, let me know. I think I'm 1 of 3-5 ppl with that problem though..... I still recommend the V2

^ go into paint, open the pictures, go to "strech/skew" and type in 25% for each of the horizontal and vertical boxes. Save the new images as a different name. And BAM smaller pix!

Looks like someone forgot to turn the gas on while they were welding that back at the factory. Not having argon flowing lets oxygen get into the weld where it oxidizes instantly at welding temperatures and makes the weld brittle.

Well... the welder must have had gas when s/he made mine, cause I've had mine for over a year with no problems. In any case, AEM should fix/replace. Just make sure you're nice to the person on the phone--Golden Rule and all.

PS: Dammit, I love my V2, too!

WEll, I did have it replaced. Josh at AEM... and I was nice... and so was he. I sent him some pics and he replaced it, no charge. Just took em a while to get everything in order... have to be persistent. And I also like my V2.
