THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INTAKES BUT SINCE YOUR BUDGET IS AROUND
$500 THAT WOULD BE ENOUGHT TO GET THE AEM V2 WICH RETAILS ON THE AEM WEBSITE
FOR $368.75 AND IT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY BECAUSE IT CLAIMS TO GET YOU
ABOUT 15 HP LIKE ANY OTHER INTAKE BUT IT GETS YOU ANOTHER 10-15HP ON TOP OF
THAT SO YOU COULD GET 25+ BECAUSE OF THE TECHNOLOGY IT CLAIMS AND IT LOOKS
NICE AND IS STREET LEGAL AND HAS THE RELIABILITY OF AEM
