i swear we went over this in another forum... its just a pipe and a filter... woohoo!!! the v2 intake is just a 4"?? or is it 3" expansion and then it goes smaller on the throttle body... ooooo i can make that in shop with free piping and use the shops welder. the v2 system gains what 1-2 whp up top over the regular CAI? woohoo, $100 more for 1-2 whp up top that won't make that much difference. go for it man... ebay is just around the corner for a $30 intake, or make your own.
IF your buying for the sticker, might as well keep it stock then... your buying a $300 sticker.
