Default Which intake proves more HP?

I have the AEM V2 CAI now, but I hear alot of good things about the FIPK and Comptech box. And they are both carb approved? Which one is better? Or am I better off with my current CAI? Or is there even a better intake than these?

Stick with the AEM horsepower difference is just too minimal.

Pssst. You know Intakes do less for your performance than removing the spare and toolbox, right?

I hear Comptech and AEM V2 are about equal.

gains are minimal with any intake.. stick with oem.. honda design them very well.. intakes for our cars are for more sound.. if you want sound take the top peice off the airbox

Howcome everyone always says there are no gain? I have seen dyno's of about 5 whp and 8 wheel torque on an otherwise stock S2000 and that is at a stand still. Most intakes will see gains more during higher moving speeds.

Also why would you have to worry less with a Fujita CAI than a comptech? The comptech is up high under the hood the Fujita is down at the bottom of the car. Doesn't make sense to me really.

Keep the V2. If you want something quiet (for whatever reason), go back to using the stock airbox and add a snorkel. Increased throttle response at speed can be felt.
