AEM 02-06 RSX Type-S V2 Dual Chamber Intake Reviews

Pros: Amazing sound when I hit VTEC. During my first test drive, I thought I screwed up the installation because the sound caught me by surprise! The sound is so different than stock! A slight whistling sound at around 3000 RPM is also pretty cool (I suppose some people may find this to be a con). Cons: The fitment was slightly off for my 06 RSX-s. The problem was the horn (I think) in the engine bay was getting in the way so I had to force it in. Also, I don't feel any power gains in my butt dyno, but I'm sure there's some (even if it's very little).

It definitely produces HP gains throughout the RPMs. The sound is amazing, especially when "VTEC kicks in yo." Looks great in the engine bay. The fitment is somewhat off(the filter touches the shifter cables). It will suffer from heatsoak after driving a long distance while its hot out(maybe wrap it, idk). Overall, very pleased.

this was the first mod i got on my 02 base. i love the gunmetal grey color, looks great under the hood. it doesnt (as far as i can tell) affect the gas mileage and gives pretty good gains for the price. a good buy

I just recently purchased my RSX December of 2010 and boy was I ever excited to start investing some money into my car. The V2 intake is the first mod I purchased and I am more than content with the buy. As far as performance, it gave me a slight boost throughout the car. I noticed the difference at higher RPMs. The best overall plus about this intake is the sound. It sounds like a freaking monster! Right around 3K RPM it begins to growl, than after the VTEC kicks in it releases an even louder roar!! I'm riding with the windows up and music above 30 and I can still hear the intake!!! I love it! LOL! I believe the price is a little high but it was a good buy. If you are looking for high quality sound, than I recommend you look into purchasing the V2. I give it a 4 out of 5. IF the price was a little lower, I'd most def rate it 5 out of 5.

The only thing wrong with the V2 Intake is the new location for the intake sensor where is located by the air filter, but my sensor wasn't long enough to reach. i didn't want to cut any wires to make it longer. i had to drill another hole in the same spot on the stock intake tube where the intake sensor was before. i plugged up the other hole on the V2 Intake. my car is not having any problems, the intake is working as it should.

Ordered my intake last week and got it in Monday *picked up and installed today*. It took about an hour and a half for me and a buddy to do *I'm not incredibly mechanically inclined* because I'm a moron...It took me like 5 minutes to change ratchet adapters/sizes/extensions.. V-Tech is beautiful. Gives off a nice loud scream as soon as you go in and you can def tell when shifting if you missed it or not. Some heatsoak which is expected out of an SRI but none the less works great. It does sit right above the tranny and a mount for the stock airbox will bump it if you don't remove. Mine wasn't coming out so i just left it there. Def would recommend this product for someone looking for an SRI or even CAI!

love this intake, sound is sick! especially when crackin v-tech, deff a good combo with the apexi ws2 i got, amazing tq gains, only thing i didnt like is how the filter sits on top of the transmission. but other than that so far so good

This is a great intake.....the VTEC pop compared to stock is CRAZY!!!!! The only thing i don't like is that the pipe gets semi-hot..... i dunno how cold my intake charge is getting, but i can defientley feel a difference......

it was hard to install for me because it didnt line up, so i had to get a replacement one from AEM. but its a great product. great sound. Great V-Tech crossover sound. even better in cold seasons.
