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

Ive been doing research for a while on intakes looking for the best one for my 06 rsx type s after hearing the tone this intake gives off i had to have it and i dont regret a thing this intake is amazing you can hear and feel the performance it gives out. definitly recommend this and the install instructions are easy

Very easy to install.. you could hear the vtec kick in (deeper sound) best intake ever!!!

Very easy installation, no special type of tools required just a screwdriver & a socket wrench set, Acceleration improved & you can feel the V-Tech Scream & the power as well.

Easy to install, cleans engine bay right up, deffinate power gains, perfect for Canadian weather(keep'er on all year 'round), unless you WOT you wont really hear it but once you WOT...well just WOT and see (don't forget to hit iVTEC :P) AWSOME BUY!!!

When I first got this in the mail I was happy, but when I installed it (only took me 30min) and took it for a NICE TEST DRIVE...All Hell Break Loose...When vtek kicked in I was all smiles...pretty much it flies like a butterfly and stings like bee...

When i first purchased this (as my first mod) i was skeptical about how hard it would be to put on and the effects it would bring. But, in less than an hour, I had put on this monster intake with much less effort than expected. And as if that wasn't satisfying enough, when I hit the gas, it definitely roared much better than I expected. The power gains also caught my attention with better torque and throttle response. And when it hits v-tec, the sound turns heads. I definitely recommend this to anyone making a first mod or replacing their old intake!

pain in the ass to put in, all worth it

The AEM V2 Short Ram Intake was the first mod I did to my 05 rsx type-s. Installation took less than an hour, and was simple enough. This intake sounds awesome whenever you hit the gas, and even better once v-tech is hit. I'd recommend this product to anyone looking for an affordable first mod.

Got my intake mid July... put it on with my friend in about 45 minutes. Of course the cosmetic appeal of it was apparent right as i started my engine. The Pros She's a beefy intake at high RPMS but my favorite thing is she makes a nice sucking noise at 1/4 throttle that people mistake for a small turbo all the time. I was at the car wash last week and the four kids drying my car thought it was turbo. So that's really cool. And lastly of course of course when I first hit Vtakkk! (I mean vtech.... I mean V-tech)... {Get it right people} When Vtec engages its a beautiful sound and if your a good driver it sounds amazing when you up shift and hit 6000rpms instantly again! The Cons. First off, the thing heat soaks for sure. Sometimes on a humid summer day my car is boggy-mic-boggersin, the intake gets ridiculously hot and my car has significant horsepower loss. My friend has a B18C1 I/H/E with a CT hybrid intake and he'll keep up with me real good on the hot days. My other big concern is when I got my intake and opened the box i found two huge dents in the intake. One of them is right were the sleeve meets the thinner tube and is in plain view when installed. I'm sure this causes air flow problems. but even worse the metal is bent were the intake meets the throttle body.... uhhhhh...luckily the Kevlar tubing and the metal clamps they give you diminish the problem but the bends are there. And lastly. I don't know if this V2 is even the one for my car b/c it was not a perfect fit. The filter touches parts of my transmission and I didn't like that when i was installing. Regardless I love it but I just wish it came perfect for the price I paid. Still amazing!

AEM v2 VS Injen CAI is always going to be a heated discussion. Ive had bolth on my car. Injen is noticeably louder and some added performance. But seeing that it's a CAI it sits way to low to the ground seeing what i did is sucked some water up and craked my mainfold. V2 sits right next to the engin so it does get heat soke. Witch robs perfomance and sound. Honisty if you want a product that will last aslong as your car go with the V2. Best qulitly very well made and the replacment filters are free. And you really dont have to worry about water getting up under the hood as much as the Injen.

Just installed yesterday... big difference over my stock air box...awesome torque gains.. major wheel spin shifting into second... the intake sounds awesome and then v-tech kicks in and it's ridiculous! Sounds awesome! Love this thing!

This is my first after market intake but I can say I can truely feel the difference. I just put it on yesterday evening and the took it for a test ride with my 360lbs brother and my 110lbs nephew and it was still faster then stock with just me in it. When I took the solo run I got some serious wheel spin when hitting second gear. There is a slightly different feel all the way through however it's best performance is when the I-vtec kicks in. I have not experience heat soak yet however that was a night run so we will see as time goes on but I have no complaints about the performance of this intake and nothing but love for what it has done for my car. Oh by the way I ordered from Auto anything which also has free shipping but they charge tax. I recommend buying this from ClubRSX as the price you see is what you get.

as stated below, heatsoak is an issue, since it sits next to the header, but i love my v2 and the gains are beutiful. very satisfied!

Very satisfied with this product, it was easy to install, there are noticeable gains throughout the RPM range and the sound when the VTEC kicks in is awesome.

I'm very satisfied with the puchase of my AEM V2 intake.. Hearing the VTEC pop is ridiculous I've been wasting a bit of gas jus wanting to hear it but its def worth it..BUY THIS PRODUCT!!

Installation was a breeze, love the new sound, louder V-tec crossover, and the gains in Hp were very noticeable in pulls. Was debating between CAI and Short Ram, but I'm glad i chose Aem V2.
