Default aem v1 cai transition to v2 cai

2001 s2k with aem v1. Hey guys just wanted some input from your experiences if you've ever used a aem v1 intake and transitioned to aem v2 intake. I'm about to buy the v2 and want to know if it is worth it. I've read that vtec in v1 has a harder kick to it than v2. I like that kick when vtec hits . Sound wise which is louder. Does the v2 offer enough to transition over? Please let me know your experiences with the intakes.

No reason to switch IMO and I have the V2.. The gain if any is not with the price of buying it over the v1..

Only major difference is the stepped intake diameter.
