yea i don't .. i figured the ebaay intake would be better .. i'd get that intake sound too ..

the only thing .. i read in a previous thread that ppl were talking about the ebay air filter pieces going into the intake .. i dont know how true that is .. i think it was just a way for ppl to justify an ebay intake as shitty .. but do you think id be fine with that air filter it comes w/

thats why you should buy the cheap intake and throw on a k/n filter bro...shouldn't cost you more than $30-$80 for everything. You can also find cheap SRI for dirty cheap and throw on the k/n filter too. i have the drop in k/n filter for my bone stock y8 and works great.

well i figured id be payin about 80 with the K&N filter and the intake .. so i dont htink i'd want to spend that much .. i'll see how much the stock one is .. if its still $50 maybe i'll get teh ebay intake

on a side note .. i think i'm going to get an n1 ebay muffler for like $30.. ppl say you get what you pay for .. but it sounds nice on some videos ive heard .. and ppl also say it sounds nice

Ebay muffler
ebay intake

An intake is an intake. It's a pipe with a filter. Like others have said, just get a K&N filter and you will be golden.

depends on your definition of "great"... listen to one in person before you waste your money on the muffler. as for the ebay intake, dooo it!

I like that, I'll be getting that with a K&N.

I've also found ebay CAI and short rams with K&N filters included for $50-60 on ebay.

i thought about getting something like that .. thats a pretty cheap price too

and i did see those ebay intakes with the K&N filters .. i think they were like $70-80


and as for my oil change not coming with an air filter ... i don't really trust the guys at that place, nor do i particularly trust anyone who works on my car besides me


edit: and for the ebay muffler.. i have no way of hearing one unless i buy it .. i'm just going off of what i heard on youtube

yes the drop in filter goes in place of stock drop in filter. they run for $30 or so online, but if you go to a local auto part store they can run from $40-$60
