the AEM cai has been dyno tested in an intake shootout to produce the most HP. if you wanted to keep your factory warranty in place, Comptech parts do not void a thing ... just as long as the dealer installs them. (btw ... don't get the comptech exhaust ... headers and ice box :thumbup: ... exhaust :down: )

I've heard really good things about the AEM. I decided to go with the injen only because I hated when it became time to clean my air filter on the cai.

Well the AEM V2 is out for the RSX-S....thats also another possibility. I haven't heard much about how people like it but I was hoping for those of you who have it can elaborate on it.
Its suppose to be an easier install, better overall performance, twice the sound resonation etc.. You can go to their website and check it out www.aempower.com

it's great that AEM created the V2 ... the dyno sheets do prove that the V2 produces more hp than the original ... but do a search on the V2's price, the extra 2 hp isn't worth the additional $150+ dollars on top of the V1's cost.
$400+ for an intake is :loco:

400?!??! I dont know where you saw that. Even on AEM'S
website they have it for $356.25. Actually 356 on thier website
is still high but you can get it for $269 on the link below. Just
scroll all the way down the page and you'll see it. I can actually
get it from my local dealer for that much.

the AEM CAI is BOMB. I love it sooo much, and the only way it voids warranty is if it did somethin to cause a defect that the car would otherwise not do. Dont trip had mine for almost a year and no problems and no statci from my dealer. :thumbup:

the v2 is only a short ram intake
the aem cai produces the most noise, with the injen cai right behind it...
i've heard just about every type of intake for the rsx already.... injen sri, injen car, aem sri, aem v2, aem cai.......
as for the dyno numbers.... the shoot-out was done before the injen cai was available so its debatable......
as for installation, the injen cai is alot easier to install then the aem cai.... as for the v2, its a short ram... even i can install one of those lol
