Default AEM V2 Intake?

How much of a difference is there 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.

I would get it. It be dyno proven to add more. For 50 bucks it worth it for the 500 something that AEM wants its not.

For $50 buy it. If anything you could definitely sell it for more than $50.

yup more of a gimmick IMO as well
if they were really good EVERYONE would swap out their intake for the new V2
it does add more hp, but the question is how much hp??
it's like 1 over the standard CAI
is it really worth the extra money????
IMO no

Wal-Mart sells APC intakes for 92-95 civics for $53 or something like that.

Should I get one?
