Its not a turbo just an intake pipe what do u expect. I don't know of any intakes that make more power than the v2 so why is it such a bad product. There simply isn't any more power to be had from an intake pipe!


I would trust the AEM dyno numbers. They are a big enough company that they couldn't afford the bad rep if they were proven wrong. And with the amount of ppl buying aem products u know the parts are getting a lot of dyno time from owners.

If the v2 sux than so does the dc header because it costs 300+ and has small power gains... oh and all the ppl buying 400 exhausts, well thats a waste too. They are all shitty products.

True it could be a downpayment on a CAI. I misunderstood like other people in here that have replied to your statement in other threads and thought that you meant it produced no power gains at all which you'll agree that it does by just looking at the interior roughness with all the ridges of the stock pipe. Well, I got my AEM SR for $50 from a friend so I can't go wrong
I guess it really depends on power to money ratio:

My AEM SR: $50/~3.5hp = $14.29/hp
Reg. AEM SR: $103/~3.5hp = $29.43/hp
AEM V2: $255/~7.9hp = $32.28/hp

So, the price to power ratio is about the same for an SR and V2. Sure you can go get a V2 and get the most power from any intake, but the bottom line is...what are you willing to spend on an intake? And if you are willing to spend $200-300, then I agree, sure, that's the best way to go, but if you don't want to spend that much even if you have the funds, then the SR should give you the same "bang for the buck." If this theory didn't work, everyone would be on Koni Yellows instead of KYB AGX's.

Secondly, do you have the 'timeslips' to prove that you have even graduated from college? I'm sorry, but you haven't presented yourself in a way that would make me even believe this is remotely true. If so, then what are "view factors", what parameters do you need to know for calculating how much a cantilever beam will deflect when a force is applied at the tip? If you have an ME degree, these should be easy questions since they're from basic 2nd year level mechanical engineering courses.

 

I couldn't agree with you more. Whether or not you feel the v2 is worth $250 is just a matter of opinion. I wanted the best intake for my car and I believe the v2 is it. I can definitely say I can feel the car pull better throughout the gears. To me.. the v2 looks good, sounds good, and now my car is even more fun to drive. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for an intake.. just wait for the price to drop.

 

calm down son, im just giving my friend a hard time

 

guess you're not an M.E. huh? :blah: :bs:

 

when i say short rams dont do anything, i mean in relation to other intakes....if you have to make a decision, go with CAI....stop taking me so literally, of course it makes a gain, just not enough to warrant a purchase over a CAI...duh :werd:

 

Well, we already established what you meant. First, WTF is "a process plant technologies," did you make that up? Secondly, did you even answer any of my questions: "what are "view factors", what parameters do you need to know for calculating how much a cantilever beam will deflect when a force is applied at the tip? If you have an ME degree, these should be easy questions since they're from basic 2nd year level mechanical engineering courses."

This is your response in an HID post below "yeah get HID's so u can shine them at that girl's ass in ImportCarTuner's thingy." , that sure sounds like a guy that's graduated from college. :ghey: Just admit you're a kid and your extensive knowledge on intakes is based on what you've heard on HAN. And if so, that's fine, everyone starts somewhere, I didn't know crap about modifying 2 years ago when I just started and had not taken the engineering classes I have now. But don't go and say that you're an engineer with some company when you're not. If you are one, answer the questions, if not, silence is compliance.

I'm not trying to pick on you, but you're the one who proudly stated that he's an engineer with a company.

 

hahaha kid? not quite....and as for learning stuff on HAN...the only thing i've learned here is that most of you are like star trek geeks only with hondas...u seem to be one of them...process plant technologies is a program that started at lamar university...first graduating class was in 1997. it was setup by the lake area refineries because they wanted their incoming process operators to have more education. I found out about it and went into that field when i graduated HS in 97. I graduated from mcneese state university in 2000 with that degree but along the way i realized that i didn't want to work in the refineries...i was like 2 classes away from finishing so i just went ahead and got the degree. I started back in computer science for about a year, didn't like it, and went into engineering. graduated in 2003 from MSU. and as for my HID comment...in case you hadn't noticed...this is the internet...i dont really give a shit what i say on here. the HID thing was funny...i have a sense of humor...you should invest in one...or shit, u're an engineer, build your own...and have you seen the girl's ass i was talking about? it was niiiiiiice...i think i was drunk when i posted that hahaha...anyway, long story short, short rams suck, go with cold air, and you get a life and stop bothering people for not taking the internet as seriously as you do cuz for the most part we dont give a shit lol :werd:

 

oh, little footnote...operators start off at about 50-60k a year... more than engineers, they start usually from 30-45 generally...that's why i originally went for that...but i like the engineering field better than process operator...but here's the funniest part...when it came time to look for a job it was right around the George Bush Oil War so everything pretty much dried up around here... so i got a job as a sales rep at billy navarre honda...we also have chevy and hyundai and will be getting cadillac and nissan soon....anyway, started there, i've been there for 7 months...im on pace to make about 60k my first year, and im getting ready to buy a house in a month so car mods are on hold...im a people person, i've managed teams and crews before...in a year or so i should be a finance manager (i heard that after my first month) and they start out at 60k base guaranteed salary...but with bonuses and commission most of them make 90-100k + a year....then it'll be off to sales manager...100+ easy :werd:
so have fun bein an engiNERD (and yeah u definatley got that word right)
