How much should i pay for V2?

I've been looking around for the new aem V2 for my 04 Civic. I've been quoted 285.00 to 305.00. After reading the parts and reviews section some people pay 200.00-250.00. But where??

don't get the intake ... complete waste of money. for the price of 10 aem v2's, you could just get a turbo kit

well, he should probably wait for dezod's then

if he can burn $250 on an intake, then I'm sure he can save up for a turbo ... you gain more whp from removing your power steering than any intake on the market

I paid $275 U.S.D. including shipping. I live in canada btw, so shipping was more than it would be if I lived in the U.S. I bought this off ebay. I've had an SRI, a CAI, and now the V2.

If your looking for power, don't bother with an intake. Intake is just good for sound, no matter what anybody says. Save up for a turbo like everyone else said (if that's what you want). If you got a lot of money to burn, I say go for the v2. It sounds freakin' amazing. Once you get to around 3000 rpms it goes nuts.

I got mine on monday, and I'm happy with it. I got the aem v2, cause I wanted something that sounded nice. I'm not into driving fast, so I don't care about hp gains.

I guess it depends on what your after. If you just want something that sounds nice, go for the v2. If you want hp gains, get a turbo.

^^ It will sound nice at WOT but it still only gives you 2-3hp. Save for turbo

Are all the V2 Intakes for our cars short ram intakes or are they cold air? I have seen pics of them and they look like short ram intakes to me. ANyone confirm on this? Do they have 2 versions of the V2 out? a short ram and a cold air?

Someone one here told me that the V2 is a cold air for the lx and under models, and a short ram for the ex?? Im thinking this isnt true though. I have it for my EX and it sounds great and adds enough power to feel the difference. I payed 255 altogether for it, which contrary to popular belief in this forum, is nowhere close to the price of a turbo...

Rob man.... you really did bring it back from the dead but with ppl constantly saying 'it's not worth it', it's not too good for your business or anyone elses.

hmm i know this is an old thread but.. 04's are still powered by the almighty d17

a turbo kit on an 01 will work on an 04 or an 05 at that matter. as long as it's the kit for the d17 motor. oh and on the intake matter i say get the fipk2
