Question on getting a new intake.

[myc132]

Ok... restating the question:
How much difference do i get vs. MY stock air filters? (f22a6) I'm still getting it cause you get better throttle response.

Stock intakes suck ass. Plain and simple. Expect a 3-8% power gain over stock, depending on the intake and the conditions you run it in. On an otherwise bone-stock F22A6, expect anywhere between 4-8hp gain.

Short ram intake = better throttle response and low end torque

Cold air intake = better mid-high end horsepower

to tell you the truth. An intake probably isnt even worth buying. A drop-in filter will likely do just as well.

Drop-in filter?

Does AEM cold air intakes come with bypass valve?

stock intakes are JUST fine and flow JUST FINE. (with a decent filter element)

you should research more, just slapping on a short ram isnt gonna do crap! just make more noise in which you THINK you are going faster, which in reality you arent! and the money spent on a decent CAI...the gains from what ive seen (in reference to 98vtec's dyno session w/intakes on honda-tech) arent worth the money over stock!

Drop-in filter?

like a K&N or something of that nature. The flat filter that goes inside the intake box.

Oh...u mean the one i already have?

naw... I think if the AEM cold air comes with bypass valve then i'll get that

it doesnt come with one. its like 40-50 dollars i believe. And dont let your ears fool you when its installed.

[myc132]

the carb(?) sticker thing on the AEM... is it on the filter? cause if it is, then can't i just buy the pipes from ebay and just get the filters?

haha @ u guys and your "emissions"! j/k. here in florida, anything is game.

it doesnt matter how hot it is out side. its better too inhale the clean hot air outside your hood, than it is too inhale the dirty, hotter air under the hood.

alright ladies youve got your answers from people you wanted to hear it from! if you want the aem for looks say so...like smseagren83 said if you do some research you will find its not worth the 240 or whatever you pay for it.
just take all the bafflers off the stock intake so it is sucking in air from the box and get yourself a k&n filter.
wha la you have a short ram for 40 bucks that sounds just as cool and allows more air through to motor! and also when a cop looks in your engine bay it looks stock. enjoy (i bought p.o.s intake which i hate) should take my own advice!
