aem v2....FIPK II
ok I know there are 500 posts about information on each of these etc....i'm not really lookin for that much out of performance out of these intakes cuz i know they dont' do much anyways....i just don't want to lose any power which according to other posts none of these take power from any range in the power band....aem supposidly sounds much better than the FIPK II....I can't decide what to get 240ish for V2 or around 200 for FIPK II? I want something that is quiete when you want it to be like 5th gear going 60-70...and something quiete when your not pushing it...help me decide

The fipk is very low toned for an intake, but I still couldn't justify the noise for the little 4hp gain in the upper rpms. You won't really lose power, only a little between 3-4k rpms. You might not even notice a difference. The AEM v2 looks just like the first one. No heat shield and big piping = power losses.

Rep Power: 0 every major university helps you find a job out of college unless there isn't a good market for your major. And if there are no jobs for no one to get money they won't want to invest in anything there for not need an ivestment banker but good luck anyways.
