Yea, Im curious to see how the v2 works out, but I agree with everyone else, why buy something you will end up not liking when you can do it right the first time. The short ram intake will feel crisper, sound louder, but wont have the gain the CAI has because it is sucking in so much hot air since it sits in the engine bay. With either one though you arent looking at MAJOR gains, so you might as well get the one which offers a little more...
