AEM V2 Intake Review on Acura RSX Type-S

@Symbrio Check out the dyno, the stock intake doesn't flow well at high RPM, and falls off. The AEM keeps making power after the stock one drops off and thus the 18hp#. It averages 5-6hp through most of the range, but at high RPM, it pulls through. Newer cars have better flowing intakes, and sometimes it is very difficult to make more than a handful of HP. Fortunately the RSX responds well to an intake.

@21fuzz21 It's called resonance, and it works!

@ComptechTypeS Look at where it made the power, peak power is 18, average is the 5-6 you see. "Heatsoak" on a dyno with poor airflow is one thing, intake temps when rolling on an actual road is another. There's plenty of air flowing in the engine bay that it's on a few degrees above ambient once rolling. This intake doesn't make it's power by being a "cold Air", it makes it from the resonant tuning in the tube.

@Crowcaine77 You should watched it on the dyno before "spewing" your own garbage! AEM has a room full of engineers that have already disproved you. Do you have airflow modeling software, a flow bench and a dyno to prove them wrong, or are you a keyboard jockey?

@rockinallday25 We hear it fits but doesn't make power on them due to the throttle by wire set up.

Anyone know how to clean the filter on these?

@nvmaddog1 It depends on which filter it is, Dryflow or Oiled. Check which yours is and use the correct cleaner.

Do they make a v2 for a 89 crx. With a b18c5 swap?

@liljdmef Not exactly, but we have seen people use a V2 for a B18 on a CRX, we just can't guarantee fitment.
