Air Intakes
Do air intakes (In general) that you see on Ebay, that claim to add 10-15 horse power, or whatever, really add that much? I've heard that it really only adds probably somewhere around 3-5hp. How much do they usually add, really?

the aem V2 was dyno'd to add 17 - 19 HP ... it's just known that CAI's really deliver HP. when you get a short ram intake though, expect gains of 5-9 HP

Yup, 10-15Hp sure seems a lot for a no-name brand intake.

Go to the website and look for the tpr mag about the V2 and injen cold air intakes. It shows you pay for quality and injen rules!!! i thought about just getting a filter off of ebay but I now I am glad I didn't. And they test short rams and cold airs with dyno graphs to back them up.

Its just an intake h: . The difference between my ebay intake and an aem is mine didnt come with a mounting braket. I had to make one myself with thick sheet metal and epoxy. But yes, put both intakes together that are the same shape and you will get the same results.

FOr some odd reason, i didnt feel a gain at all when i installed my aem cai. It just sounded hella lot meaner, but i didnt feel any difference. I know it gave me gains through the difference in track time slips, but personally, those bolt-ons dont do much at all.
