AEM V2 Install

So its 5pm at work, and i'm aching to get my intake installed....

Filter is all dried up. Arms are ready to go. All i need now are tools, and a helping hand...

Who you gonna call? Ghetto Chek!

So i make the 30 minute drive to his place around 830pm and we get to it...

Removal of the stock airbox is a snap since we've had experience from the Hondata Airbox Mod. So we get that done in 15 minutes....

I did some reading on the DIY process and it was relatively straightforward. Both me and G.C. (Ghetto Chek) have done DIY engine swaps before on Hondas from our time in the states, so this should be easy peesy no problem.

Some lame dude actually said it took him 3 hours. Pffftttttt... who needs 3 hours for a simple intake install, especially since we took 15 minutes to get the stock one out.

Well....

We were semi wrong.

It was a bitch getting the thing to line up properly, especially since the idiot that sold me the intake didnt include the spacers and bolts needed. So we had to ghetto rig some spacers out of some nuts that he had lying around the house.

We had to move my alarm horn as well because it was in the way of the intake. Relocating that son-of-a-bitch was a pain in the ass.

So after 2 hours of dropping nuts, scorching our fingers on the warm engine, and elbow greasing the intake about, we got it together...

Snug, tight fit. Looks dope too.

Took her out for a spin as we headed for some much needed refreshments. Wasn't expecting much, but MY GOD, was I amazed at the performance and sound of the intake in Vtec.

EPIC.

The only word to describe it.

Left a smile on my face.

Took G.C.'s advise to take off the fuel rail cover over the weekend, and this intake is definitely one of the more "WOW" mods i've had on a car.

Definitely would recommend it to anyone looking for a relatively cheap intake that outperforms regular SRIs. The AEM V2 with its dual sized intake chambers makes up for it being positioned right above the header.

Totally rocking the "non-standard" look.
