I wouldn't go so far as to say AEM V2 isn't a real intake. It's fine if the car is your weekend drive, or if you live in CA where it doesn't rain as often.
If it's your daily driver and you drive in the rain a lot, I would get Comptech. It's the best performing in the sub $500 price range. Beyond that, with Js and Mugen, you are just getting bling for th extra money. A Spoon snorkel isn't a bad idea either.
I like the fact the Weapon R intake has 2 pipings, but it's still sucking in hot air.. At least it doesn't warm up MORE when it's in the tubing! I still want to see it in person, Will!
