Rep Power: 231 Just got the Aem Cai
Fit: 4 - Because the breather hose that came with the aem cai was hard to put on the factory breather hole.
Power: 3.5 - After getting it on, when driving normaly like I always do, i always see my mph about 3-4 mph higher then it usually is.
Loudness: 3 for daily driving, 4.5 at wot, sounds pretty nice. Especially when it shuts off you can hear all the air sucking in.

Rep Power: 0 Injen Short ram intake
Fit: 5 fit was great
Power: 3 pretty hard to feel 3-4 hp
Sound: 5 quite loud under full throttle at high revs but not bad for regular driving. Love the sound.

need dyno
no offense, but you would need a dyno test for each product to get a real answer. The noise itself from the intake can just be a psychological impression on the owners. And also, when owners first buy their intake, they'll probably try harder as well to make sure they gained some power, so they may be shifting better, which makes them think it is the intake, when really its just themselves. A Driver that knows how to power shift vs. a ricer who just installed any intake, the power shifter would surely win.
2k1 Civic SI - Stock intake (it is placed 2 inches above a CAI, why would you replace it?) - MT - beat every riced out car I met so far.

Rep Power: 255 AEM CAI rating
Sound - loud deep tone @ full throttle
power - +mpg/+1hp
fitment - Easy to install, the hose to the valve cover was too small so I had to use a extra one from my garage. Compared to other intakes I have had for my car I like this one the best.

Thanks
Thanks
Sound: 5 - great deep sound at full throttle that tapers on at about 3000 rpm and then tapers off at about 6000 rpm. great low sound during casual driving. Also great whistle when car shuts off.
Fit: 4 - No problem with fit at all. Fits like a glove. Only thing i noticed is pipe comes straight up from throttle body before making its left turn. Hood closes with no problem. Worried that i won't be able to fit the tanabe strut bar. Getting one within the next week to test. Other than that. Fit is great, filter right behind passenger side fog light.
Performance: 4 - As everbody knows there is only so much power to gain out of the d17A2. This intake does get the great power from a CAI system. Fujitas dyno shows 4 hp and 2.5 pounds of torque. You can't really expect much more from a CAI with no other modifications to the car. The V2 gets about the same, if not about .5 horsepower more.
Overall great intake, should be great with the Espelir JGT500 cat back coming soon.

Rep Power: 0 Nothing like V2
AEM V2
Fit = 4 Easy to install, mounts solidly.
Power = 4 Noticeble pull. Not just at top end, but also around 3 K
Sound = 10 Off the scale. Quiet below 3 K, but screams and howls at 6 K
I've had it for about a year and I love it. Had an ebay intake before. The V2 was light years better. I wrapped in pipe insulating tape which seems to help w/ heat soak.
