Default Does it matter???

Does it matter what brand intake I get? I wanted the aem v2 intake, but I am not sure it is worth the money. What is so different in that and a ebay intake? If I get an ebay intake and put a k&n filter on it then what is the difference? I was j/w thanks....

A tube is a tube is a tube. Don't waste $200 on an AEM.

Yea, as long as it's mandrel bent, not too thin in diameter, and has a good filter (get a K&N like you said), then it'll be as good as anything else.

If you are from cali, you need the AEM or INJEN, because those are the only ones that will pass smog visual. But if you are not from Cali, don't even worry about it.

Oh yea, I forgot about how retarded Cali is with its laws. But seriously, that's kind of weird that an AEM piece of pipe would be ok when an ebay piece of pipe wouldn't, even though they are both just pieces of metal pipe that do the same exact things.

I would rather save $100 and put the stock one back on when it comes time for a smog test.

Just put your filter straight on the TB and skip the intake altogether. See what the cali cops think about THAT.
