which cold air intake

**manolii** · 28-12-2010 08:32 AM

i have a 97 honda prelude and im trying to decide on a complete cold air intake. which system is better for the prelude (better as in most performance) currently i am tossing up between a K&N typhoon system complete cold air (CCA) and a fujita complete cold air system. are there better any better systems which can be bought?

the aem v2 is supposed to the best, there was a big comparison going around ages ago with all of the intakes for the prelude tested and the aem v2 won.

I have an aem v2 for sale at the moment http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...-AEM-v2-Intake!

The AEM did win, by a tiny margin.
Bang for buck, rip out your intake resonator, replace the filter with a K&N Panel and be done with it

The AEM V2 isnt a true CAI and you would see a little bit of heat soak on hot summer days. Especially compared to the stock piping.
As you would know, DYNOs are run with the bonnet open and a big fan blowing air. In the real world the bonnet is closed and an uncovered pod-filter will suck up hot air.

The best CAI is the one on a 4th gen VTiR...

There is a way around this, you must remove the resonator box, remove a foglight cover and run an induction tube directly below the pod of the v2.

You get the best of both worlds.

That would help slightly, but it would still suck in hotter air from the engine bay side. Certainly not as good as if there was a custom barrier made.

I have cut out the gaps between the fins of the foglight cover which give air into the cavity below the intake. I have though about putting some sort of tube but this way I minimize the amount of shit I get in the K&N.
