who's got AEM V2 cold air intake?
how do you guys like them???
any problems like filter getting dirty or water getting into the filter??? how often u guyz clean them?
I heard u shouldn't use a bypass valve on V2......
I just have a matrix intake filter on my stock pipe.... (took out the stock air filter)
I'm thinking about getting an CAI.... cuz i heard short ram intakes sucks up hot air from the engine..........

it will make more power but the question is how much more power from the trditional CAI
i think the V2 is more of a gimmick
it's making around 1-2 more hp if any
is 1 hp worth the extra 25-50 bucks for the V2?
IMO not really
it's alos not compatible with the bypass valve
CAI is the way to go w/bypass valve
better safe than sorry

yeah, the V2 is the way to go...especially on a 6th gen 4cyl...the original just lost all your low end and gave u a little bit on top...the V2 gains low, mid, and high, i've had mine since they were first released and i love it.
