CAI is waste of money.
Stick with stock box.
I agree with you in that it does little for performance.

It just sounds damn cool

a member posted this in another V2 thread and it prompted me to do a little research.

So.......its not just sbout avoiding puddles. Be careful!

we have had some pretty severe rain in Houston the past week so i decided to see if this actually happens on my S-dos. i removed the bumper, wrapped the AEM V2 with papertowels and poured some water on the hole indicated in the pic below. i watched the water drain directly onto the top of the V2 so this could potentially lead to hydrolock during a heavy rain.







my car is garaged at work and home, but i will probably plug the hole anyway to be on the safe side.
can i see this image?
