Ok im thinking about getting a cold air intake.
im new to this.
the aem v2 sounds nice. I love the sound but is it made for any or jus the v6 model. I looked at this one that was on a v6 6 sp accord and it sounds sexy. I have the i4. Would it matter which model? And to solve the water puddles problem, is there something that would solve that?

not sure about what car it fits on.....
but
the v2 has a special dual chamber and cannot vit a bypass valve. so basically you do have the chance of hydrolock... but if you haven't read in the other posts.. its rare that happens..
your intake has to be completely soaked into water to be able to get water inside the engine and cause permanent damage.
and v2=300 dollers.... i dunno if its really worth that much when you really are getting only 5 hp.
intake= more for looks and sound not performance..
the only way they really do make a differernce is if you get a intake, header, and exhauast.
that cost about a $1000 and you're getting maybe 20 hp at the MAX

ive had my CAI for a little more than a year now without a bypass valve and havent run into any problems with hydro lock. And its been very rainy here in NY. Honestly get yourself an ebay intake and a K&N filter. no company has the market on make metal pipes, there all the same. Save yourself some money.

if you wanna save money, go with an ebay tube and a name-brand filter (K&N, AEM Dryflow, etc...). or buy a Fujita CAI! like i did.
EDIT: btw, when i took my intake to my local shop to see what they thought about it, they saw the Fujita box and said they had never heard of the company. then they said they would have gone w/ the AEM V2. then i opened the box and the guy was so surprised, and he said mine was better quality then the AEM. and after i installed it, he said it looked and sounded better.
