I had a V2 on my first AP1 and i prefer it over my FIPK.

 

I'm selling mine:

I have it. I drive mine through the rain no problem. plus the sound is like day and night. it sounds 100x better. definatley worth it

 

I was unsure like you. I just bought a used one to comfort myself from the actul retail cost.

 

somebody has to mention that intakes usually weigh less which always increases performance

 

I just got a K&N drop in filter and drilled holes in the bottom of my air box to increase airflow even a little bit......i dont care what anyone says, you will feel a better pull at vtec and the sound will be better as well. And i have not had any problems with hydrolock with the swiss cheese mod, as long as you dont cut the entire bottom off the box.

Like people said earlier, the stock airbox isnt bad, its just the majority of the engine bay. I personally like the stock look, hence my purchase.

I think thats your best bet if ur not looking to drain ur wallet.... ~$50

Im happy

 

I see V2 for 2000-2005, will it fit my 2007?

 

Yes it will

 

V2 = $270 vs. Password = $1k+ about the same gains (honestly). more noise from both = both sound cool just get the cheaper one...

 

AEM V2 CAI to this day is my FAVORITE mod.

If there is same to less gain from stock, it would not matter compared to the beautiful sound you get when driving with it.

Good luck with what decision you go with. AEM V2 gets a from me.
