Alright, I was really skeptical about buying this intake from eBay. I got it for 29.99 plus 10 shipping. I figured that you get what you pay, right? Well, I am very impressed and very pleased with this product. I compared it to my friends AEM cold air intake and the quality of the tubing was identical. Didnt feel a difference in weight or anything. ONLY thing different was the Filter. So, tryin to be a wannabe, I slapped on a new KN filter (same one AEM uses) threw away the one that came with it.

Performance was immediately noticed, NOT a huge difference, but top end got a little kick in the pants. It took my sluggish topend on my LS to a new level. I recommend for anyone on a SMALL budget like myself to look into an eBay intake.

seller name is : btnz
here are the pics that i took for you guys who like to be nosey at what other people are rocking.







Also on another key note... I used a 99-00 SI intake, didnt know if it fit, but thanks to some guys on HT it came out perfect!

 

Nice, I wish I could use a $30 intake after I swap

 

you mean intake MANIFOLD?

 

why couldnt you?

 

???

 

duh dood means the induction tube....

 

HUH?

Less im mistaken, the motor will sit differantly - thus wont be able to get the damn thing in the hole there... its all good im getting one custom made anyways

 

i see senor!

 

i bought an intake from the same guy... same color.... its 2 pieces tho... 95 dx. stock motor. anywho... im using the lower half for an intake on my greddy kit/setup. it fits really well!! $55 shipped.

 

I see him talking about buying a 30 dollar intake and now he is saying he used a 99-00 SI intake so I figured he meant something else and forgot the second part.

I wasn't understanding the point of using that manifold so I was trying to figure out what he meants.

Sorry I misunderstood.

 

okay....

the intake i bought was a CAI for a 99-00 SI. I purchased it for 29.99 + 10 for shipping. I DID NOT install an intake manifold just the INTAKE TUBE w/ FILTER.

clear? clear.

 

See I dont like that bend at all... thats why im gonna get one custom bent for me

 

OK, I really misunderstood it before but now upon reading it, I understand.

You used the CAI MEANT for a 99-00 Si.

Got it. I'm dumb

 

That's awesome. I'm not an expert on intakes, but I would say that's a really good buy. It doesn't look like the intake is any different from the AEM other than cosmetic reasons. Serves the same purpose correct? Gives you nearly the same results? (probably) Can't go wrong with that. Unless the composition of the tube is **** compared to the AEM.

 

coooooollll.

 

ohh i bought a civic type r shift **** off that person before...got it for less then $20 including s & h and i really like the feel of it even tho it's not the real thing.

 

i know what you mean...that is a drastic bend huh

 

can anyone post a pic of another hatch running a real AEM on there Civic

 

Here is a pic of a 99-00 SI AEM on my 92 Hatch. I'd say it's basicly the same thing minus the filter. Good buy

 

Did you measure the diameter? what was it?

 

Nice...

What was the total cost with the K&N filter? Is it the same diameter as the AEM?
I may just have to pick one of these up myself...

 

Yeah, I know its probably to get it into that area easier, because less of a bend would probably be a bitch to wrestle in there, but everyone knows less restriction = better flow. Who knows maybe it will become popular and ill sell em to everybody

 

the intake cost 29 plus 10 for shipping = 40...the KN filter cost a little under 10.

So for 50 bucks i feel as though i got the same thing as a real AEM. except for the black silicon parts

 

thanks a lot for the pic matt

 

NOT TOO SHABBay. a CAI for 30 bucks! thats quacktastic! good job. My shiny short ram is from that guy i believe. quality was also very nice.
