Aem Cai Vs. Aem V2

[jakid64]

Has anyone tried out the new AEM V2 yet? Are their advantages and improvements, or should I just save my money and get their traditional cold air?

I have an AEM C.A.I.

What is a V2?

v2 is the newest installment of the cai systems by aem. it was an option for me but i passed on it, heres why...

its a 4 inch diameter pipe instead of the traditional 3 inch pipe. only problem is, the 4 inch piping decreases back into 3 inch diamtere size in order to fit right with the MAF. so, there isnt much of a difference. but expect the same hp and torque gain.

the regular aem cai is dyno at 9.6hp at 7000rpm..im guessing with the v2 should gain a lil more but not too much...im thinkn about getting it..

actually larger diameter to smaller is better here's why
When the air comes through the intake tube it's moving pretty
quick but when it runs into a smaller area the speed increases.

Example: you have a hose with a 1" diameter outlet and water
is running through it. The water pours out slowly right? YES
But decrease the outlet by .75" and the water sprays out very quickly.

It's true this will increase HP by a little and is a good idea.
Over you'll be getting the same amount of air through the intake
just faster and probably a little cooler.

Has anyone installed one? I'm concerned about the battery rub with the bigger tube....my AEM CAI rubs really bad right now and I had to wedge some foam between the battery and the tube

There is force behind the water. There is no force behind the air, so when something with no force hits a smaller area it will slow down.

The traditional CAI only gives about five horse, I highly doubt that just making the pipe bigger will help. No matter how big your pipe is, the air has to reach the throttle body which is a smaller size no matter what.

"There is no force behind the air"
I don't agree. There is no force "pushing" the air through
BUT there is a force pulling the air into the TB.
Either way there is a force of air. If you doubt there is
start your car and cup your hands around the cone filter.

We all have our opinions

I wanted to order an AEM V2 CAI (go to www.adventon.com, they have the best prices ANYWHERE), but the guy told me that they aren't in production yet and wont come out till March or so.
