Default aem air bypass valve question

Sooooo i'm going to order an aem bypass valve for my V2 intake, but i don't know which size to order.... i looked up on their website and they really don't have any info on it. Since the intake goes from a 2.5 to a 3 inch pipe not sure which one to order.... i guess it would be the 2.5 because the 3 kinda shrinks down? anyone have this in their S that could help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I was looking into the same for my AEM V1. Take off the rubber gasket and measure it, or put a string around it and mark it then measure from the end of the string to the mark.

Check around because I think I read somewhere that a bypass valve isnt compatible with the aemv2 intake. I'll see if I can find where I read that
