They make more noise then horsepower.
AEM V2 $300
No-name $100
They both do the same thing except that a brand name one might fit better.

Spend the money on a tune-up instead. You'll notice that more then an intake especially on an older car like your's.

Get the aem cold air. V2 is over rated/priced IMO.

The first aem cai is better/more reasonable priced as it is older.

U will notice power gains, but I would consider doing a tune-up first ( like DumbasSi stated ) Then getting 4-2-1 Headers if u havent already done so. Then grab urself a cai perferbly Aem, and then do ur complete exhaust system. Go from there. Once u've done all that ur most likely gonna want more so the question will arrise..." Should I swap " IMO as long as the si motor (D16z6) is healthy dont swap they have LOADS of pottential.

If ur serious about getting some power outta that motor and making it efficent contact me. If u just want some more "pep" Tune-up, headers, cai, full exhaust.

if an intake is your ONLY engine mod it is utterly pointless.

Do a search on this topic you'll find a lot of threads about this
