Which Intake?

For the people worried about water, think a cold air is bad what about the arospeed. Yeah it has a screen but I wouldnt trust that thing.

I had a cold air intake on my 2.25 lowered civic with a bypass valve and drove from Missississpi to Texas in the rain at an average of 65 MPH without any problems. water sucks, but your engine wont suck it unless your dumb as hell and dip your intake into a bucket of water

that arospeed intake doesn't even make as much power as an AEM cold air intake. Its just for ricers or show car builders. The concept is pretty innovative but it doesn't work as well as it should. Your filter get dirty twice as fast, the risk of hydrolock is increased because its out in the open too.
The air is rammed soo fast into the intake that those small pipes can't even bring it into the the IM manifold. If it were larger pipes it may perform better

As for the v2, dynos from AEM and import tuner show that it actually provides very little power on integras anyway. If I were you, I'd go with a short ram. It's a lot cheaper and it provides the same low end as a cold air (except for the "bump") and better high end.

Not true at all i've seen some pretty impressive gains on integras and rsx's w/ just the v2 i ordered mine a few days ago should be here on thursday. And the v2 is not a cold air system it depends on the car every pipe is a different length because the v2 uses sound frequencies and the pipe lenght varies those frequencies.

the V2 for an integra is a cold air set-up....the V2 for a DC5 is a short ram! the cold air on and dc2 chassis provided 1-2 more hp over the original AEM cold air intake. so the V2 is a waste on a DC2 chassis. if you bought it for looks, then good....but for power, you' should've stayed with the AEM V1

see i've heard and seen other dynos w/ the v2 on the integras and rsx's and they have shown slightly better results than the original cold air. Like you said the difference was small but i've heard that the v2 is slightly better than the cold air and i have also heard it the other way around.

As far as I'm concerned, the v2 is a trickier puzzle to crack. Like stepped headers, this intake has two different diameters so in theory it should have the best of both worlds (since it's also not quite as long as the CAI). I don't know if I would cough up the extra $ for it though. Made 20hp and 18ft/lb on a type-s though *shrugs*.

Exactly right there is why the v2 is good they claim that it's the best of both worlds and like dc2 said it's not as long as a cold air so you shouldn't have to worry as much about hydrolock and it looks badass because it's so damn big. I got mine off a company on ebay w/ a k&n cleaning kit for 250 shipped and i have no regrets. Should be here tomorrow or thursday

u would have to lose your ac or abs to get the cf password intake... i just saw 1 today at a show on a typr r it looks so sweet in person but i dont know if im willing to sacrifice my ac to make it fit
