NEW AEM CAI V2!

AEM Introduces Version2-the Most Powerful Air Induction System Ever Produced for the Sport Compact Market!

AEM is proud to introduce its Version2 (V2) Cold Air Induction System for popular sport compact car applications! The AEM V2 incorporates a revolutionary breakthrough in inlet system design that utilizes a dual chamber (using two different diameters and lengths of piping). This design creates multiple frequency sound waves that help charge the cylinders with more air throughout the entire rpm range. Because more air is able to enter the cylinder chambers, the AEM V2 is able to create more horsepower and torque-across the entire rpm range-than any other air induction system. The AEM V2 even outperforms the original AEM Cold Air!

The AEM V2 is manufactured from 6061 mandrel-bent aluminum piping and features a unique, high-gloss titanium powdercoating that reduces heat soak and enhances looks. Every AEM Air Induction System includes a proprietary one-piece, four-layer cotton-gauze air filter for superior filtration and comes with a complete hardware kit and comprehensive installation instructions for trouble-free installation. Every AEM Cold Air system is manufactured and assembled in the U.S.A., and is either C.A.R.B. exempt or pending C.A.R.B. exemption (50-state legal). The AEM V2 is Patent Pending.

AEM's initial release of V2 Cold Air applications is for most popular Acura, Honda and Mitsubishi applications. Please visit www.aempower.com or call (310) 484-2322 for V2 part numbers and availability.

AEM is The Leader in Performance Technology. The company manufactures high-quality street and race performance products that are distributed worldwide. AEM headquarters is located in Hawthorne, CA.

Yup, gonna wait for some dyno figures - It's the only true test. I hope it actually performs better.

It looks bigger...

If it works, hopefully it'll offer some more low-end.

The physics behind what they claim are true. There is a wave that exhists in an intake manifold. When a valve closes the intake air hits it and 'bounces' back and reverses again when the valve opens to allow more air in. If this is tuned correctly it 'forces' more air into the cylinders. It constanly changes according to rpm. The GSR intake with variable length runners takes advantage of this. At higher rpm the intake is tuned so the wave is timed right for high rpm. All intakes actually work like this, its just that they can only work well at a certain rpm because they are static and can't change their length. The intake can have an affect on this also, so this product could possibly be better. That and the venturi effect are areas that can improve intakes. Again, I just want to see a dyno sheet!

i wonder if they changed the mounting points also. the way the K&N mounts is much better cause it goes where the stock intake mounted, not on the tranny mount.
i wonder how the V2 compares to the typhoon as far as gains.

Ya know, the dyno graph for the cold air intake isn't bad at all. The gain is decent. Then again, it's off the AEM website, so who knows.

Its still just a filter on a stick. BFD.

waste of money IMO.

"The AEM V2 even outperforms the original AEM Cold Air!"

REALLY? you mean that AEM is saying their new, more expensive intake is better then the old one? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Looks more like a filter on a pipe to me.

It's still just a Civic

isn't this the same as having a 2.5 diameter upper tube
getting a 2.5 to 3.0 diameter coupler
and putting a 3.0 diameter lower tube on CAI?
