Oh, did you check out aempower.com ?? they have a great demo of V2 sound!!
Water, I've asked many people about this. Some of them told me unless you go off-road with your TL, otherwise it wonldn't cause hydro-locking. haha...
So anyway, I went with Injen because it will sound better than AEM, and it's $50 cheaper.

Personally I wouldn't get the Comptech Icebox UNLESS I change the foam filter...so if you add in another K&N filter...it's more like 280+65=$345.

If price matters...get the V2.

There is no way an Intake is giving you 12HP, that is out of the question.

i already have the K&N so it would be just the ICEBOX

It doesn't work that way....the K&N filter I'm talking about would REPLACE the foam filter that the Icebox comes with. It is very doubtfull that you have a matching filter.

Yeah, Icebox uses different air filter. So, you will end up paying more.

Comptech Icebox is nice for the ease of changing the filter.
