hey guys another useless post from myself. Anyways im awaiting the day i can search the internet and find thousands of mods for my 07' lol. its just not happening, anyways i was wondering your thoughts on AEM's intakes as a whole vs the competition. Ive heard AEM is good st00f and I was thinking the v2 was a good choice. do you think that the v2 is superior to theirtraditional cold air intake system? and also if there is a better brand of intakes than let me know price is not an issue here. I wanna get this civ up to my LS1's power lol =)

 

the v2 is superior because there are dynos to prove it. also, intake wise, yes aem is the best (imo).

 

ok sounds good thats all i needed to know lol =) btw intake wont void warranty will it? i know headers and catback will, but im atleast 6 mo from that

 

aem won't, but many others will

 

if your in CA, the stuff you put on your car must have a CARB sticker on it to be legal. the warranty should not be revoked even if you put an exhaust on - that is, unless its the source of the problem.

 

and im pretty sure it has to be installed by a professional in order not to void warranty

 

do you just have to keep a valid receipt and whatnot to prove it?

 

probably, thats raelly the only way they can prove a professional installed it.

As far as the V2 goes, its actualyl 2 pipes, one pipe inside of another, which cools down the air better or somethin, idk exactly how it works but the fact still remians that the gains are better than just a tube with a filter on the end.

 

Q: Will an AEM intake void my new car warranty? A: NO. The only time this can happen is from improper installation that causes damage to a vehicle system. If a service technician denies your warranty claim ONLY because the car is modified with an AEM intake system and the vehicle system failure was not a direct result of the installation and use of an AEM intake, please refer him to the Magnusson Moss Warranty act.

V2 utilizes the frequency change from the different size tubing...its a great intake...i've used others and by far this was the best in my experience...especially if you can find a gen1 v2 it has an extra 3rd stage pipe...it has a tag on it for smog so its all good...
