Default Best cold air intake

I have a 1993 Civic EX. I'm trying to find out which is the best cold air intake. I know that Iceman uses a funnel effect pipe that speeds up velocity in conjunction with a filter element that increases air capacity. The AEM cold intake uses a smaller pipe to increase air speed and a filter element with funnel ram effect to increase air flow velocity. There is also the AEM V2 that uses two pipes of different lengths with two different diameters. I'm not too sure how the V2 works. Can somebody explain this to me? I think that the AEM is better than the Iceman. I've been looking for some dyno charts. I was only able to find a dyno chart for AEM cold intake on a 95 EX civic that claims 10 hp over the stock component. I'm also interested to know which system you think is best. Thanks in advance for any input that you provide.

I remember seeing the dyno sheet for the AEM v2 in a magazine, and it shows 12 horsepower.. I dont know anyone that has purchased one yet though. I would take AEM over Iceman though. Or you could go with one of the StreetHeat cold air intakes.

Iceman claims .5seconds off your 1/4 mile time with additional fuel to match their additional Intake Air or your money back...

The AEM V2 just makes more power than their original and is tuned by AEM so you don't have to even think about how to increase its power...Its an evolution of the Original...

Custom Air Intakes are always fun...

IMHO CAI on a SOHC is worthless. I had one for 8 months, sawed it in half.
