Keep those reviews coming guys - I don't plan on sitting in a 6" puddle, but cutting the fender well lining could be a consideration against the V2 (makes it hard to go back to stock).

How's the AEM V1 sound? How's the injen sound? Realisitcally I am pretty much going for sound, value and quality

You have to cut a little bit of the mudguard for the AEM V1, but it's not much, and if you do it right it'll go back to 98% stock when you take out the pipe

if you want to know what a aem intake will sound like just do this:
go to your car and open up the top of your airbox. theres clips all around, you just unclip them and take the top off. it should sound close to a aem or injen but you will get the clue! problem is it will gather hot air and loose 1 or 2 hp which aint much.

well i support injen because it seems it is a quality product and many people have proven it true. the v2 is not as widely spread but as i said early i like the whole deal with the sound wave compression technology behind it, which in reality simply seems to make a good aggresive sound. i think whichever you go with you will be happy.oo yea and the v2 you have to cut the fender thing so that might be something you consider. You have to cut the fenderwell linging because the v2 has a really thick tube.
WTF??

Are you quoting yourself and then answering yourself?

So basically yeah as long as you dont go raging through 6" deep puddles your golden...
it's called luck. i have a video clip of my old ITR on the track during the rain and hydrolocking. i went off course and into what was probably a 4" puddle strip (paths cut along the mud from tires). then my car bogged and stalled.. shouldnt have restarted it at that time but i didnt think that there was any truth to aem's hydrolocking in light rain.. towed back to pits, pulled the plugs and it was over.

as for intakes, cai's do sound better and would probably be marginally better only because it draws in cooler air. but for piece of mind (and not to mention it looks damn good), i'd go with the comptech.
