Is there a difference in a v2 air intake for a 90-93 Accord and 92-96 Prelude because I have an H22 engine in my 92 accord. Do they fit differently or is it a bigger diameter? Which one should I order?

I never ever found a v2 intake for this car for the 2 months I figured out for the best intake of choice. which I ended up with the short ram. Trust me if u wanting to just boost later, just get the short ram for now. if you want all motor, nevermind.No longer have a cb7.
V6 POOOWAAAA
lol, a buick. -
tell you the truth, i would NEVER spend that kind of $$$ on an intake UNLESS you're going ALL-OUT all motor, there's nothing different between a $25 ebay intake and a $110 AEM intake but the filter which can be bought for no more than $50.....just my 2 cents

That is MOSTLY true with the regular cold air. You could argue in AEM's favor a little bit because of the thermal coating they use, but it isn't significant for the price difference.Originally posted by prNonVtec4utell you the truth, i would NEVER spend that kind of $$$ on an intake UNLESS you're going ALL-OUT all motor, there's nothing different between a $25 ebay intake and a $110 AEM intake but the filter which can be bought for no more than $50.....just my 2 cents
The V2 is NOT the same as the others though. It has a broader power band by virtue of its 2 chambers, but I don't feel that it is significant enough for the price either.
I modded my stock airbox.

X2, it looks very beefy...at least for the one for the prelude in which u are thinking of getting. It looks very similar to the short ram except by the filter the tube gets huge even though that is made for sound resonance or whatever. Anyways, intakes don't do much, and the v2 doesn't either for the h22...Originally posted by owequititThat is MOSTLY true with the regular cold air.

I was also going to say.
The Accord intake is too small for the H series, so yes, you need to use an H22 intake.Comment

yea, see i can't argue with their V2 intake cause that shit's serious(down to proven tests), but i was mainly referring to regular intakes

I paid $200 for my AEM CAI (the original design) back in the day.. I regret it now. 1-2hp isn't really that significant. Sure, it DOES do what it says... but you'd never know. Dropping some weight or running properly sized lightweight wheels would make more of a difference.

word, ebay intake will own all lol im running an aem but i got it for freeComment

I think you would do better by getting the Prelude Type-S intake... still pretty pricey at $150, but basically the same deal as the AEM V2 for half the price. I'm debating whether to go with BOMZ again or pony up the dough for the Type-S intake...

from my experiences with aftermarket air intakes, I can say that the factory air box design is best. yes, an aftermarket intake does look sweet and makes a cool noise, but those are the only advantages. you dont need a big air intake on a close to stock motor.
you actually lose power with a lot of the aftermarket intake designs, especially most short ram designs that provide hot air to your motor and why would you wanna do that?!Comment

AEM v2 helps the mid range as I recall. It is also a really loud intake. Heard one on an SI driving by. Sounds mean as balls though. Plus the dual chamber would be like a venturi effect I would think.

ok here is what u do. u go to auto zone or where ever. get a filter and at auto zone there is this flexible tube that expandes like a bendy straw. then take a 3 and 1/4inch hole saw and expand the hole where the tube came out of ur car and into ur airbox. then reach under the car and remove the dust guard and unbolt that box there and take the tube and push it threw the hole and attach the intake filter under the car. it rests in the bumber. idk how it explain it better lol. i can get pics cuz it cost me $40 and 2 hours to do this(i kept getting phone calls)
