bullshit, the v2 will not get you 25 hp, maybe an extra .5 hp, and a normal
intake will get you about 2 hp, so thats 2.5 hp, intakes do not make that
large of a difference unless your boosted. As for quality, a pipe is a pipe,
get a no name intake *as long as its mandrel bent* and get a good filter,
aem filters are made by k&n, as good as you'll probably find, then buy a
bypass valve seperate. Save money and get the same results. If he's that
concerned about brandname, go get the AEM intake for him, but the only
difference is the sticker and the couplers are black with AEM written on
them.
