Whats that big s***

[wills_accord]

I seen people with the big things on their intakes, what is that?

[Ralphie]

well if thats anything like the AEM V2, its an extra chamber to collect water so that it doesnt flood your engine...then when throttle dies the water seeps back out.

Thats what ive been told, i could be wrong.

So it's better than a bypass valve? And why would you need that if it's a short ram.

[Ralphie]

well i dont know about that one but my dude has the v2 and its intended as a cai, and he has that same extra chamber....i dont know if its better then a bypass valve but im sure you can use it in conjunction or be smart and get a sri.

the v2s technology has nothing to w/ water
its dual chamber is ment to utilize only the middle of the intake stream where the air is the most consentrated



idk what those things are that will_accord posted though....im interested to find out too

[blackcb7]

its not for water, is a bigger chamber for air i believe

and its a complete intake, forgot what it was called

[Mike]

i know someone else on here has one

[Ralphie]

this is what i was told.....

dont hate me...




edit- and it didnt make too much sense at the time but i could see it being possible so i dont know but id like to find out what it does for sure!

[NAiL05]

As mentioned has nothing to do with water or none that I have heard of. Prob more like intake volume and such. Going from a big pipe to a small pipe can cause a minor venturi effect maybe not sure on these intakes. But the main idea is that it will have a greater volume of intake air inside the intake.

[djcaz_aom]

Adding on to what NAiL05 said, this chamber is designed to create two flow paths of air, both of which flow at different velocities. When the two air paths meet, they create a vacuum, therefor multiplying the air speed and forcing more air into the intake at a higher rate, thus creating more horsepower. This is all dependent on the size, length and secondary tube diameters.

If its similar to the ARC intake, Password JDM's "whale penis" or the infamous Iceman intake then it is chambered. It goes from a larger diameter piping to a smaller one. Throttle response is increased and there will be a faster velocity flow.



Taken from AEMPower.Com about the V2 intake

The AEM V2 utilizes a dual chamber (using two different diameters and lengths of piping) that creates multiple frequency sound waves to produce the largest area under the curve of any intake system on the market. These sound waves help charge the cylinders with more air throughout the entire rpm range and are what enables the V2 to outperform even our own Cold Air systems.

Using dual chambers, its basically two pipings one inside the other. The inner piping is suppose to be shielded from the outer temperatures, acting like a headshield.

I think it has to do with resonance frequency.
