Default Intake opinion

Has anyone out there ever tried the new AEM V2 intake. Is it worth paying the extra bucks for the so called "Added Power". If not, what other brand of intake would you guys recommend

Ebay intakes will lead to less than half a wheel horsepower difference for a quarter of the price of a V2
Just throw a K&N filter on it. Piping is piping.

If your going to buy a V2, get it off ebay. They work well and sound very good.

make sure you get a name brand intake. where i live if we dotn have a carb approved sticker on the performance part then we get a ticket and have to replace the part. im pretty sure the ebay intakes arent carb approved.

I wouldnt bother still....I got an Iceman intake for 60 shipped, I recently put on a new AEM Dryflow filter, and i'm very happy. The Iceman never gets hot, I can lick the damned thing if I wanted to.

Ebay intake+K&N or AEM dryflow is just fine.
