I've read in a couple of places that the AEM CAI style intake may not be the best solution for making power with our engines (CAI V2 excluded). I know of at least one Speed World Challenge car and one Honda Challenge H1 Accord that are running stock intake pipes (some with "higher flow filters"). Spoon Sports technique is to delete the silencer in the stock intake pipe and use their own high flow filter in the stock box.
The theory in this case is that the torque sacrifice for a couple of horses way up top that the CAI style intakes produce (probably as a result of their harmful effect on intake harmonics, again, V2 excluded) is not worth it.
Any comments? Real world dynos?
