RE: So Confuzed With The Intakes... - 4/29/2008 2:02:34 PM    JkillaAcc02 Posts: 253 Joined: 3/11/2008 Status: offline Wait.. so whats the difference between a AEM v2 Air intake system and a cool air intake? AEM V2 Air Intake System utilizes a dual chamber design to maximize the overall area under the power curve for more air throughout the entire RPM range.  AEM Cold Air intake for sport compact cars increase airflow and oxygen content, ensuring safe increases in power by relocating the filter within the engine compartment to deliver the coolest air inlet temperatures possible. _____________________________ **FONDA THE HONDA** 02 Accord 4cyl 2.3L V-Tec Coupe Loaded -GREDDY EVO2 CATBACK EXHAUST SYSTEM -TINTED -HID'S -REMOTE START -PHASE LINEAR FLIP SCREEN/DVD/MP3 STEREO.

The standard AEM CAI is like every other one, a tube with a cone filter on the end. _____________________________ 2006 Scion TC (ZPI-18G pending) 2000 V6-AT (RIP 3G) Temp Search thanks to Finch13 (in reply to JkillaAcc02) Post #: 7
