aempower.com = wealth of info about your question

the v2 has a tube in a tube, the original cai is just one single tube

also, the v2 comes only in a titanium finish while the original comes in red, blue, or polished

^^^ most importantly, the v2 has a broader torque curve and power curve than the standard cai

a torque wrench and some sockets to go with it. make sure you get an extension for the torque wrench as one of the bolts is pretty deep in the bay
