Default Air intake

hey was looking to get the AEM v2 air intake but cant find it anywhere since the U.S wont export it, wanted to know what other air intake compare closely to the v2 because i've been told the v2 is the best for the s2k cheer

I have just bought the J's Racing Tsuchinoko Full Racing intake from www.41.co.nz (they deliver to Au)
I love it - i reasearched a lot before purchasing, and it was exactly as expected. Adds a real nice grumble to the engine - gives a slightly faster response to throttle changes and delivers a heap of torque (poss some hp) to the mid range.

Hmmm, I'm fairly sure it doesn't fall under the definition of prohibited goods.

Seriously, some sellers will send to Aus but it will cost a fortune in freight. If you can find one that will ship USPS then you'll get it for a decent price.

Otherwise, it helps to have friends in the US.

Oh yeah, and quite a few guys here run the K&N FIPK.

They get them from an ebay vendor.

That's probably a hard question for most people here to answer, although I know the J's is probably easier and cheaper to source new.
