Difference between brand name intakes and "cheaper" intakes
Hey all, I wanna get an intake and exhaust for my brother for christmas. He
says he wants an AEM cold air intake with bypass valve (so water wont get in
the cylinders). Is there *really* a difference between the AEM ones and the
other "no-name" ones? I figure I can afford to buy him more performance
parts if I go with the cheaper ones. Also, my budge is around $500 USD, so
what would be the best to get to increase HP and handling for his stock
Acura Integra '97 LS? Thanks

My "Bomz" CAI cost $60 including shipping (Ebay),but came with no
instructions,just a bag of pipes,couplers,filter,and clamps.It took awhile
to piece it together,see how it's routed,and to figure out what intake
parts to remove,and how to do it.It also has no bypass valve,although I
suspect I could fit someone else's bypass to the system. The tubing is
polished aluminum with yellow couplers,although I believe they offer
colored anodized pipes,too.
I'm still very satisfied with it.

FOR $368.75 AND IT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY BECAUSE IT CLAIMS TO GET YOU
ABOUT 15 HP LIKE ANY OTHER INTAKE BUT IT GETS YOU ANOTHER 10-15HP ON TOP OF

Re: Difference between brand name intakes and "cheaper" intakes
bullshit, the v2 will not get you 25 hp, maybe an extra .5 hp, and a normal
intake will get you about 2 hp, so thats 2.5 hp, intakes do not make that
large of a difference unless your boosted. As for quality, a pipe is a pipe,
get a no name intake *as long as its mandrel bent* and get a good filter,
aem filters are made by k&n, as good as you'll probably find, then buy a
bypass valve seperate. Save money and get the same results. If he's that
concerned about brandname, go get the AEM intake for him, but the only
difference is the sticker and the couplers are black with AEM written on
them.

intake will get you about 2 hp, so thats 2.5 hp, intakes do not make that
large of a difference unless your boosted. As for quality, a pipe is a pipe,
get a no name intake *as long as its mandrel bent* and get a good filter,
aem filters are made by k&n, as good as you'll probably find, then buy a
bypass valve seperate. Save money and get the same results. If he's that
concerned about brandname, go get the AEM intake for him, but the only
difference is the sticker and the couplers are black with AEM written on
them.

Re: Difference between brand name intakes and "cheaper" intakes
bullshit, the v2 will not get you 25 hp, maybe an extra .5 hp, and a normal
intake will get you about 2 hp, so thats 2.5 hp, intakes do not make that
large of a difference unless your boosted. As for quality, a pipe is a pipe,
get a no name intake *as long as its mandrel bent* and get a good filter,
aem filters are made by k&n, as good as you'll probably find, then buy a

Actually,for the RSX-S,an AEM CAI produced 20 extra HP,per Honda Tuning
Magazine's dyno test.The issue was last year,around Apr or May.They did
flow bench and dyno tests on several short rams ,the two CAIs,and the K&N
filter.They had a lot of nice graphs,too.
The "Bomz" CAI I put on my 94 GSR made a -very- noticeable increase in
power,even below the VTEC point.I believe that has to be more than a half
or 2.5 HP increase.
