Default OEM intake vs aftermarket cold air

So I've heard from a couple people that the OEM stock airbox is prolly the best intake for our car because of the air box acting as an air chamber. Im actually running the AEM v2 right now and its fine except when it rains . Just wanted to get some input since many high quality aftermarket intakes also incorporates the air chamber along with a snorkel. Post up your opinions, facts, and dynos!

i actually had the chance to dyno my car with both the stock air box and the aem V2....

and on the stock air box it made 222rwhp on a dyno dynamics, and with the aem v2 it made 215rwhp.

both pulls were made back to back.......so i guess you can figure out the rest. lol

hope this helps.

There is rarely ant aftermarket intake that would do better than OEM. Sad.

That's not sad, that's great that OEM is better than paying out the ass for aftermarket.

True that The stock box works very well

PrOsPeCt S, do you have a dyno sheet on the runs you did with the V2 and your stock box?

I have made power with my box design over stock with back to back dyno runs.

Aww man...don't tell me that.

Seriously...I'm with Puddy...do you have a dyno sheet. Seems everyone else makes some power with the V2.

I'll certainly try to test that next dyno day.
