hey i just got a honda accord 01 v6 and i am looking for a intake. which one would u suggest for me to get. i looked and heard that aem is a pretty good brand that makes it. please help me out. thanks

 

Sweet AEM is very good, make sure you get a KandN filter with that. Also now you have to pick which ine you want a shortram intake or a cold air intake here is a Faq on both aboput advantage and disadvagte

I perfer shortram intake mostly becuase the water damage part with coldair intake.

 

Water damage is almost negliable unless you drive though a lake. CAI is looked upon as the better intake from the public's perspective because everyone does it. However, SRI is good as well.

Either way, you cannot go wrong with SRI or CAI, both will improve your car engine...as well as a new purr under the hood.

EDIT- YAY! It's my FAQ!

 

I would recommend an AEM SRI with the dryflow filter myself. It might not have as much flow as the K & N, but you don't have to oil it and it's easy to clean. Also, water ingestion will probably never happen to you, but there is always that chance it will so, if you get a cold air, make sure to get a bypass valve with it. The AEM V2 is supposed to be the best CAI on the market right now. I think shortram is the way to go though, alot cheaper and alot safer.

 

thanks alot guys. i will probably go wit the aem short ram intake. dont know which kind yet but most likely a decent one. thnks again guys.

 

bomz shorty.... i put one on my gf 3.0 cl and whoa........almost always silent but when you hit 3500 and wake up the vtec its an absolute defaning roar. itll stand the hair up on your arms and the back of your neck.....everytime. not a damn person within a hundred feet isnt put on notice. she has the bose stereo too. the radio just doesnt turn up loud enough to drown out that intake note

 

If you change your mind and go with the AEM V2 be aware that you SHOULD NOT according to AEM put a bypass valve on there... so if water is a major concern of yours get the original AEM CAI with a bypass or just get the SRI and be safe...

 

thanks guys but i found a guy on the forum that is selling a reactive intake. i mean its 60 bucks so i am not sure if its a good one or not. and i found another guy on the forum that has a aem v2 intake for 180. what one shoud i get? please help. thanks

 

Depends, V2 will give you the most power, but it's the most expensive and you can't put a bypass valve on it. The SRI is cheaper, but not as much power. I'd probably save the extra 120 and use it for the header and exhaust, but you'll be happy with either choice. Only thing is, watch the big puddles with the V2, if it's raining really hard in town just pull over and wait it out.

 

but is the reactive intake a good brand though?
