I have the AEM V2 and am generally happy with it, though I'm thinking about swapping it out for a FIPK. I'm tire of having to worry about rain puddles, and the "water sock" on the AEM filter looks very restrictive. I'll pick up some peace of mind and maybe a HP or two with the FIPK.
Thoughts?

I've had Gruppe-M, J's Racing, K&N and OEM intake.
K&N sounds the best, but it's surprisingly heavy with all the weight of the box and fittings.
But the J's Racing or PWJDM is the one to have imo.

I think this should be added.
Hello my name is Drew and i work with a company called Level 7 Motorsports out of southern illinois. We have been designing intake systems for hondas for a little while now and we designed one for the S2000 chassis. The opportunity came to test the intake system against a oem setup to compare IAT temps and overall performance.
The conclusion was 13hp over stock with almost a 10 degree difference in intake temps.
check it out, any questions just ask

Recently I took a trip to Chicago to have my S2000 intake system installed on a customer's car for some testing. I wanted to gathers as much information as possible to help inform customers wanting to purchase this system. I called up one of the Chicago area's more premiere honda shops, Suja 1 Motoring, to see if they were willing to do some dyno testing. They were willing to install the system on a customers car and help me with whatever testing I needed to conduct.
To start testing they put the car on their dyno dynamics dyno in stock form. The test car is a completely stock AP1. During our testing of the stock intake, ambient temperature was 85 degrees, 43% humidity, and 29.21 in/hg pressure. The first test conducted was meant to test the intake air temps at idle. The car was left at idle for 5 minutes. Coolant temperatures reached 180 degrees with the IAT reaching 146 degrees. For our next test they drove the car on the dyno 30 mph, in 4th gear, at 2500 rpm with the fan blowing into the front bumper opening. Covering a distance of 3 miles, the factory system allowed the IAT to drop to a lowest temp of 139 but averaged a temp of 142. For the final test of the factory system they immediately did a full throttle run. During this run, the IAT dropped down to a 133 and the peak rwhp was recorded at 177.4 All testing of the factory intake and Level 7 Motorsports intake was performed with the hood closed.

Instillation of the intake took right at about an hour. This included removal of the factory intake, installation of the new system, as well as routing the fresh air duct from the intake to the front bumper grille. The new intake does have provisions for air pump, valve cover vent, as well as a bracket to mount the evap lift soleniod. I will mention that this system is lined with the DEI heat lining and is using the fresh air duct. Both of these are options when ordering an intake system. If you look on the parts page it will show you a price break down.

For testing the Level 7 Motorsports intake, they repeated the same process as with the factory system. Again, the car sat idle for 5 minutes for the first test. The coolant temperature stayed at 183 while intake air temperature kept solid at 141 degrees, 5 degrees cooler than the factory intake. For the second test, they drove the car another 3 miles on the dnyo, in fourth gear, at 2500 rpm. The lowest IAT recorded was a 132 but averaged a 133. This test was conducted with the fan blowing into the bumper opening. This temperature was 9 degrees cooler than factory. This is due to the intake having fresh air blown into the bumper mounted fresh air duct. For the final test they went straight into a full throttle pull. The car made a very impressive 190 rwhp. Intake air temperature dropped to a 124 during this run, 9 degrees cooler than factory! Just to confirm the results, they did one more full throttle run. This time power jumped to an impressive 191.3 rwhp. This made for a gain of 13.9 rwhp over stock.

Does anyone know why every aftermarket intake and the OEM intake are all routed across the the engine bay from the driver side to suck air in from the passenger side? Won't it make more sense to have an intake shoot straight out the intake manifold to somewhere right on the driver side? I'd imagine this helping alot with the heat soak issue

In short, it's the opposite of scavenging ...

Yes they do, its for the AP2 DBW... Longer piping residing in front of the radiator , Piping diameter is also wider than some other CAI , like the Fujita I had before.

Hey guys, first post on S2Ki! Just a quick question around the intake fitment. I see all the intake rams go over the radiator. Are there any fitment issues with the J's Racing, Mugen or Password JDM intakes if you are running a 53mm Koyo radiator? Has anyone tried this?
