Another question to those of you with the AEM V2: Have you ever had a problem with clearance between the AC, sway bar, or radiator fan? Has the intake banged up against either one of these after months/years of driving with it?

I don't think mine has touched either at all. I will have to go check it out closer when I get home but I don't think this has been a problem for me.

I just installed mine yesterday and I was wondering if I was going to run into problems later on. To be able to have a safe clearance between the sway bar and the fans I had to sacrifice some clearance from the a/c line. I still have a little bit of clearance and the line has foam around it but I don't know how strong the rubber mount for the lower pipe is. It seems like under hard acceleration or over bumpy roads the pipe is likely to hit something.

Yeah, I see where your concern is. I will check mine tonight and let you know if I see any problems. I was concerned about the same thing when I first put mine on. I checked it after a week and I could not see any damage. I think that AEM took this into consideration when they engineered it but sometimes they don't

I will update you later on today

BTW- How do you like it?
