they're not the same, but the performance difference is negligible.

aem cai would work the best.

The V2 is a 2 chamber design. A big chamber into a smaller chamber, into your throttle body. It's supposed to help charge the intake air so you have more air going in at any given time, like a reverse bottle-neck effect. It's more advanced technologically, but like sickcycle said: "The performance gain is negligible."

i use to have the aem short ram. i lost alotta power on the low end, but once i got pass 3500 rpms, there was a little difference in power. and now i have the aem v2, and its much better then the short ram. my low end is alot better, and it pulls and sounds pretty good.

yeah a short ram does wonders after a cold start in weather below 0C (yeah i use C cause F sucks) on 14" wheels. haha what a power gain. too bad my car is so slow with the hfp wheels on and with a D17 in general.

I have a sri on my car but my friend had a cold air and you could feel the difference between the cai and sri, but only when it was cold outside. Most the time though it was the same.
