Sounds like it has a big lawn mower engine in it instead of a little lawn mower engine, doesn't it. I love the way mine sounds, too.

haha I installed a V2 today too on my ride complete with slide and everything. I think Im going to take it to the coast of france and test it out. The germans I bought it from say it can cross channel crazy eh?

Congrats!!! i envy ur intake system bro!!! up here in Indiana, the only logical intake to install is da four season short ram!!! undefined

your just jealous cause people dont ask you if you have a turbo when they hear your intake, like people do with the Injen Race Division CAI in their civics... i get it all the time, and so do other members on this site too.... search its been posted...

I have yet to this day seen a reason as to why the V2 is sooooo much better then their original intake for the d17

Well i dunno about injen this is the only intake I have ever put on my civic. I havent see any real dyno's testing out all the intaks on 7thgen civic. Unless there are some I havent seen?

v2 is cool but how can you tell its 3to4 hp something that small of an increase wouldnt be noticeable

 
Rep Power: 0

well i can def notice something and i know that it is not like a 10hp increase so i Assume that it would be a 3-4hp increase becuse you really cant expect much more than that from an intake. Who knows mayb its a 5-8hp increase. You will never know until you dyno it. You know what Im saying...

 
Rep Power: 0

I bet it's a 1-2hp increase. You're going faster in your head because it's louder and "you can hear VTEC kick in".

 
Rep Power: 338

Hmm... actually on part throttle, my V2 makes this hissing noise but only at that particular throttle position... from there on it's the usually intake growl until 3/4 throttle

Stock is better. What good is more air if the engine still can't flow it any faster?

 
Rep Power: 348

^^^^^^^ damn straight skippy you just paid $100+ per 1 hp

actualy i mostly bought mine becuse it sounds cool.

Gearbox, you're absolutely right. I'd rather spend the several hundred bucks it'd cost to buy an intake on something better. Ya, they sound cool. But I can't justify a 2-3 (maybe 4... oooh)hp boost for all that cash.

Plus, it's been shown that short rams actually reduce torque and hp on our engines. Drop in a K&N filter in your stock airbox, get (maybe) 1-2hp gain, laugh all the way to the bank.

I have a short ram intake. I probably lost power but it sure as hell sounds good. Id pay money just for the sound

 
Rep Power: 339

It's a pipe with a filter on the end of it.

Who really cares?

 
Rep Power: 812

Yeah really. And the stock intake stays nice and quiet. There's really no point on our cars. Some of the older hondas with tiny pipe intakes will make a difference, but not this one. I guess if you like a noisy ride, go for it?

gearbox... can you show me your V2 dyno before and after? thanks...

 
Rep Power: 348

if you wanna mod your car to where you can REALLY feel it::: swap , turbo ::: should have saved those 250 buckaroos youd be that much closer to one of those

 
Rep Power: 0

if you don't plan on spending 4-8 thousand dollars... spending a grand doing intake header, exhaust isn't that bad of an idea... not everyone wants a car that's unreliable and has issues... also, keeping a car smog legal is a nice ability too...

 
Rep Power: 0

Not everyone wants arroz either. Keep the V2 dude! Sure it has crappy power, but it sounds nice. In the end, its all up to you and its frankly your money.

Short Ram adds to low end and takes away top end....cold air takes away low end and adds top end. think about it...shorter pipe gets air quicker but top end it's pointless, plus it takes in hot air....cold air is a longer pipe so takes a bit for the air to get in but it adds top end...thats what i've always been told

Believe it or not, gearbox never got a V2, only AEM SRI and K&N FIPK 2
