J's Racing Tsuchinoko intake vs AEM V2
Hi, any of u guys have tried both intakes ? Pls advice. I am currently with J's racing type s bumper with aem v2...wonder if j's intake will improve my performance other than lowering the risk of hydrolocking. Any advice will be appreciated.. Thks.

I've had the J's racing, and AEM V1.
On the Dyno:
AEM V1 with Spoon header and exhaust = 228hp
J's Racing c/f intake with Spoon header and exhaust =220hp
Real World Driving:
AEM would bog around 3-4k rpms during summer heat off the line.
J's Racing intake never bogged and felt slightly more pep at speeds and never bogged.
Sound:
AEM V1 sounded awesome since there is an open filter
J's Racing sounds OEM practically
CARB Legal:
AEM = Yes
J's = No
Overall I liked both intakes, preferred the look of the J's no doubt, and I honestly felt that It had slightly better gains at speeds. But the price is a bit much....its all about what you want. The AEM is just not good looking in the engine bay, the J's looks oh sooo sweeet.

28hp difference. wow
No dyno from the factory. But AEM V2 should show more gains than a V1, in which my case gained more on a dyno than the J's
But in real world driving conditions I still "felt" the J's as the better intake

Typo on my part, fixed it. Dyno numbers were actually not as horrible. Only about a 10hp difference.
