Darn, you guys make both products hard to choose from lol.
I know power wise, theyre pretty much the same, AEM a bit more apparently.
Im pretty convinced i want AEM, and as far as ive seen AEM sounds better to huh ? Im pretty sure if i dont go throuh some dumb deep puddles i will be ok. Im aware i can tape off a hole and i can make or buy a sheild for the dripping water. Installation isnt a worry for me either besides maybe the cutting ? or is it not even a big deal ? Also, im purchasing new. What website would you reconmend for me to buy off of ? Prefferably one that is cheaper/fast shipping/ and has many other parts, im looking for a few more other thing. Thanks in advance

 

To the OP, just get whatever you want man. I still say get the FIPK because of the reasons already mentioned. If you like the AEM better then cool, I just hope I don't end up seeing another "I accidentally hydrolocked my engine" thread. Pretty much all the people I knew that didn't think they would ever hydrolock their engine are the ones that ended up doing it. It didn't happen in a river deep puddle either. Just saying.

 

PM the vivid racing sponsor on here, he can give you a great price..

Or you can try your luck here.. http://www.autopartsdealer.com/aem_i...p339619-p.html

 

I have a 2006 with only 800 original miles on it. I want the K&N but dont want to modify anything factory thats not completely reversable. Is this posiible? Do I need to do any drilling, cutting, etc.???

 

With the K&N you don't have to cut anything..

It just deletes a few vaccum lines..

But I'm pretty sure there's no cutting involved on any short ram intake for the s2000..

 

i have had both intakes as well. i like the aem v2 over the k an n fipk. just my personal preference. sound is better, no more heatsoak. i use to get a good amount of heat soak with the fipk.

 

Roger that..

I think the AEM looks more aggressive too!!

 

Nood question for you all.. whats heatsoak ? considering i live in miami heatsoak sounds like it is liikley going to happen. Keyword: MIami lol

 

and i bought the k&n, i was convinced this will be logical for where i live and what not. no cutting n stuff. Have a friend with an s2k and he enjoys his so im going with it. should be here soon and ill let you guys know how i like it. Thinking of getting exhaust next, greddy se dual. what you guys think about that ? I hate asking dumb questions but a wise women once told me theyre is no such thing.. Just a kid who wants to learn
