This is one of the many intakes I've been researching for my '04 Honda Accord V6. It's never clear whether this is a CAI or SRI I've gone through at least twenty different websites, some describe it as a CAI others describe it as a SRI, one even calls it both (which seems really counterintuitive to me). So if anyone could help me out in finding out whether it's a CAI or SRI that'd be great. Thanks

 

I think it could be both. But anyway..I just bought and installed a AEM Cold air Intake from JC Whitney on sale for $164.00 plus free shipping. The install is all about removing the factory box, the rest is easy. Perfect fit and I love it. I can't keep my foot out of it!

 

Congrats on the install, I'm thinking about getting a new intake. I'm just running stock right now... But you cant keep your foot off it because its sounds so sick right? there isn't really any performance boost you noticed right?

 

The AEMv2 is a CAI but it can break down into a SRI. My friend has one on his h22 swapped ej8.

 

Are you kidding? The answer to both is NOT! I'm very happy with the product.

 

ummm maybe for the v6 it doesn’t break down into 2 pieces. But for the ORIGNAL V2 for h22's and such YES IT IS BOTH!



My boy is using the top V2 so yes it breaks down into a SRI as well as a CAI. He has to break it down when it rains b/c he don’t have a bypass valve. Thank you come again


*EDIT* also plz send me the link for the AEM v2 for the price you stated ^^^^...I have yet to see them for under $300

 

Alright thanks,

 

When i said it sounds sick, "sick" is a good thing so i can see why you would want to push the car-- to hear the nicer growl it makes... But is there a performance gain? I dont understand what you mean by NOT.

According to the K&N site the intake would add around 4 horsepower... whats that going to feel like?

 

g22cd5 you mentioned your friend having to break it down when it rains and you mentioned a bypass. how do go about a bypass on the cai?? cuz i have the same problem of having to break it down into a sri when it rains.

 

I donno I told him may times to get one...he just hasn’t. I use a bypass on my CAI it's stupid not too cus we live in FL and it rains all the time.
