i got a aem cai and i would buy the v2 if i was doing it again same performance as the cold air but in a short ram. i doubt the v2 creates anymore horsepower but my friend has one and 1. it sounds hella nasty, i love it. 2. gives good gains like a cai. 3. its a shortram no chance of hydro lock plus the dark silver color looks great under any engine bay.
