No one get's it. :upset:
Everyone says don't get this part or that part. After everything is said and done if you have invested the extra money on all of your performance parts there will be a noticeable gain to buying all cheesy parts, a couple hp here and a few hp there does add up. My room mate just got the V2 on his 6g 2.3 coupe and I thought it was pretty sweet. I might get one if I didn't plan on going H22 in the future.

From what I've seen, you get more bang for your buck with the standard AEM CAI.

Nice review though.

I'm sure the v2 has much moe significant gains in other applications. The v2 was definately not designed for our f23 since we can't benefit much from a better intake. There are cars that do get a justyfiable gain. You can take one engine and add a few bolt ons to it and get significant power and then in another engine it will barely make a differeance. The f23 is one of those don't barely make a differance.

go to www.aempower.com and look at the dyno's for the two...the V2 only gains about 2 over the original, but the curve is alot better, no losses, only gains...the original is just one big loss lol

i'd rather see 3rd party dyno figures. AEM is trying to sell a product after all.
