Let the flame war begin.
It's a cheap knock-off. All intakes do the same thing, suck in air. Only difference is the diameter of the piping. I bet you can Mandrel bend a 3" pipe for $5 and it'll gain as much whp as a $300 unit.

Don't forget some intake piping are more resitant to heat than others.

Ok, so go buy some Heat Resistant paint for BBQ pits for $5 at Wal-Mart. I know NO heat will enter the intake piping now. $10 for a 3" Mandrel bent intake. Slap on a K&N filter...off you go for $50.

of course they dont, because "motors" are run by electricity. Engines suck in air.. atleast thats what i would call it since its a vacuum force at work.. vacuum's suck

Think about it. You can go to your local muffler shop, or even PepBoys (they sell piping) and get yourself a 3 ft. 3" diameter straight pipe. Go to a local shop that do Mandrel bending. Bend it so it fits the engine bay from your throttle body to the back of the headlight. Go to your local Wal-Mart and use BBQ Heat Resistant paint. It blocks until about 2,000* F supposedly (but at least your engine bay probably doesn't go above 150*-200* on a Summer day). Spray liberally. Off you go. I bet it'll work just as good as an AEM.

You got it backwards h0mi3. Mandrel bends are the best. Crush-bent sucks and is the cheapest.
Mandrel = Equal diameter along EVERY curve.
Crush = Different diameter along EVERY curve.

Re: (Dimi)
I made a mandrel bent intake before for a friend with some high resistant VHT wrinkled paint I had left over for a valve cover and sprayed it on the piping. Then we put on his apexi power filter, slap some apexi sticker on the piping, and called it a day. Looks a lot better and he said it was more responsive than his K&N typhoon intake.

to answer to question...No, the intake pictured is not comparable to the J's Racing carbon fiber Tsuchinoko intake! You should know that... J's Racing is the ****.
