Default AEM V2 Intake

How much of a difference is there in performence between the AEM V2 Intake and the normal AEM Cold Air intake for a 99 Civic EX? I already have a AEM cold air intake but someone offered me a V2 intake for $50 and I was wondering if it is going to be worth buying it.

50? BUY THAT SHIT!!!! I put one on my accord and the v2 made a world of difference. The sound of the exhaust is way different too, made it sound awesome, especially in vtec. I paid 300+ for mine, 50 is a still. I say again, BUY THAT SHIT!!!

There is really no difference at all between the V2 and normal CAI. But, for $50, jump on it. Good deal. Even if you aren't impressed, you could sell it back to someone for triple that.

It didn't make your exhaust sound different it made your intake sound different.

Yes, your intake makes noise too

Sorry about the bad quality pics. I could not find my digi so I had to use my phone.

hell yes, because, as we all know, the V2 intake, unlike regular intakes, will make your car ALOT faster!!! Porsches, ferraris, watch out! Ok, so I don't get excited about marketing schemes but if it's $50, might as well get it and sell your old intake for more ;]

I would worry that if my filter fell off I would suck up road debris.
