Cold air intake or performance air intake systems come in a lot of different configurations. Most of them are some type of air tube to control the air flow into the engine and a filter on the other end. Cold air intake systems draw air from outside the engine compartment and short ram intake systems locate the filter within the engine compartment.
Typically the cold air intake will deliver a little more power and torque increase than a short ram, because the colder the air the more oxygen it contains. And it is oxygen that allows the fuel in your engine to burn.
So is a longer colder air system always better? The folks at AEM say no. They have a system called the V2. It has a dual chamber design, which allows two streams of air through the tubes that creates multiple frequency sound waves to produce the largest area under the curve of any intake system on the market. These sound waves help charge the cylinders with more air throughout the entire rpm range.
The interesting thing about the V2 system is that some filters are located within the engine compartment (short ram approach) and other models have the filter outside (cold air intake approach). AEM tests both the length of the tubing and the temperature and select the best combination for a particular car engine. This means that regardless if the V2 system for your Accord is located inside or outside of the engine compartment, you are getting the maximum results.
