No problem bro.... i think i can answer this one for ya...... w/ an atx... it'll clear it w/ ease....and proformance wise.... for the extra money... go with the AEM CAI not the v2...... twice the wieght and not much heat reduction.... all the v2 does is try and cool down the air slightly.. and with any CAI in out cars heat isnt a real huge issue being so far from the exast manifold. Also.. Ive tested the V2 and the strait Cai and ill tell you rite now im running the Good old CAI for AEM... if there's a place u can buy one and return it...... buy both and return one... you'll notice the HUGE sound differance between the CAI and the v2 (CAI sound meaner / with a huge gulp of air between gears)
Hope I helped ya out
