Default AEM V2 intake

I have a 09' V6 and I was wondering what kind of HP numbers (if any) I could expect out of a AEM V2 Cold Air Intake for a little over 300 dollars and 2 hours of my time. Also any one know of an exaust for it yet?

Thanks,
JPX

You'll get a few, but intakes dont provide eye popping hp in most non performance vehicles. The V2 is quite a bit better than AEM's sri and cai from what I have read/heard. If you have the money, I would def. get it. However, you'll also be happy w/ a sri or cai.

Yep... why not save the money on negligible power gains and gets some coilovers?

I think I saw that Ksport Kontrol coils are out for the 8th gen... maybe Function/Form too.

Ouch!! i just looked these things up and lets just say the 330 for the intake seems like a sunny day compared to the 1300 for these. Are they really worth that kind of cash?

Coilovers are definitly worth the money. The benefits are a nice drop on ride height and better handling response, turning, cornering etc.

^^^ corner balancing, customized handling/ride ...... and I can get a new EDFC cheap if you get the Tein SS-P setup ..... when they release it for your car.

Tein is only good for the EDFC... their products are too soft for my tastes. The F2 coilovers have gotten great reviews, but are stiffer than most. I think you can get custom spring rates when you order them.

The SS setup that I had on the accord would flat slide if I turned it past 13, so IMO it goes hard enough. Also, harder doesn't always mean better handling.
