I went from AEM CAI with bypass to AEM V2 shortram(well, no option for CAI).
Been months since I had it. Humming sound just about 1000rpm before vtec @ WOT condition is just FREAKING SWEET.
Sometimes I want to get rid of my exhaust just so I can hear that humming sound. and obviously, it screams like a mother****** when VTEC kicks in.
Not to mention the Gunmetal color of the intake(only aftermarket intake in gunmetal color) is just beautiful. Matches great with my gunmetal prelude.
I give two thumbs up for the intake itself, however, like everyone said, Price is questionable.
