aem v2 worth the price?

so like the topic says, is the aem v2 worth the extra like 70 bucks?

and by the way, i tried to search for it but the search engine wont recognize the "V2" because its too small ( three letter minimum)

It is seriously up to your own choice..... and also what model Civic you have. I personally feel it is worth it. And I always say, atleast I dont have to worry about hydrolock. But ppl will tell you K&N FIPK2

Intakes only give a few hp, so I don't think it's worth it. I noticed more with the hyper voltage system I got for $180. Save your money for something else, unless you really like the intake sound.

Oh and the V2 for our cars is only a short ram (not cold air). Better to get the FIPK if you must have an intake.

yes, its is not cold air because it does not go down under the battery down into the engine bay. therefore it is not a cold air.
