bump

 

try to get a real one like aem i seem them go for cheap on ebay. the short ram that is for the same price of 50.

 

i didnt ask that. i asked for opinions on the ebay ones. i know about aem, i want to know about the generic e-bay ones.

 

I bought one from some crowd called 'cosmo racing', a nice red anodised one, it fitted 100% and i'm delighted with it! It was slighlty dearer at around $75 but worth it as it fitted so well I've had 3 short ram ebay intakes and been more than satisfied with each of them although i have used my own filters for them all.

 

a pipe is a pipe...the only reason why aem's are soo much more is because all you're really buying is that damn CARB sticker(but since you're in ct, it wont matter anyways). just make sure the diameter is the proper size, and you're set. like you said, you already have a good filter, so it shouldnt be a problem. (i know ppl with these ebay intakes and they work fine. just get a good filter)

 

awesome. thanks mugen and jdmteggy. i wa already pretty set on one, just wanted to make sure. i like how they come 2 piece so i can get a bypass valve. thanks for the good anwsers

got a bomz cai off of ebay for an awesome price. fits great and i havent had any off those mounting brackets ripping off a chunk of pipe that ive heard from aem cai owners. my coilovers are made by cosmo racing, and im very pleased with them .

 

i got a ebay cai. the piping was good, but i think the filter is not the same as a k & n.
the filter i got with the cai is the same style, but the pink/red material feels harder then a k&n. like its much cheaper or a whole different material completely. anyways, i dont know if it has the same amount of breathing capacity, seeing as i havnt tried a k&n.

 

awesome....another couple GOOD responses. thank you. i am going to go with the ebay ones.....the piping seems to be good quality so i'll just slap my filter on and call it a day

 

I bought a cai from cosmo racing and got the same results that i got from my iceman intake. A pipe is a pipe. Maybe on other cars an intake would make a big difference but "aem" cai designs seem to all produce the same results.

 

Isn't K&N the producer for "generic brand" and Name brand intakes? It all looks K&N to me..-=\ Correct me if im wrong.

(wells, of course comptech, greddy, etc, has their own style too)

 

I doubt it's K&N. Almost eveyrthing is made in China/Taiwan.

 

Yea, ebay CAI's are fine. The only thing you might consider is replacing the filter with an actual K&N filter. Most of them come with a K&N STYLE filter but not a real thing.... Other than that...

 

I bought Bomz CAI about a year ago on ebay.
The chrome on the pipe doesn't look as good as the Akimono intake but it doesn't look bad either.
As for fitment it doesn't rub onto anything if that's what you're asking.

 

a tip from me might be to get an AEM sticker and put it on the generic intake that way cops wont give you a ticket. ofcourse this onyl works for the stupid cops and around here there are a fiew of those. better safe then sorry.

 

Ebay Bomz CAI right here. Altho my bracket broke at the welds its still working. What i did is cut the pipe so I can have a short ram for the winter. ANyone have any JPEG image of a AEM CARB exempt sticker i can use for my smog ?

 

here's mine https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=555583

 

nice. why you gettin rid of yours? plus i want the 2 piece one. and i have a g2

 

if you are in california, make sure you buy one with the CARB sticker, otherwise it's all the same with minor gain/loss amongst each other.

 

i'm in ct. i dont think i need the carb thing, though they did just start a new emmisions program. but i dont think they will realy care if its carb or not.

 

I bought that same CAI for a friend and he loves it. He said there were definite improvements over stock. I personally have an AEM and probably wouldnt have bought it if i didnt get a break on the price brand new.

 

i bought it from that same guy... it works well, but fitting was kind of messed up, when i reversed or idled, the cai would rattle against the area it goes down the bumper.. i fixed it with some padded stuff. i would get AEM if i had the $

i just went bsq setup

 

those cai on ebay are great. the filters are kinda cheap, but for the price you can't beat it. i used it and they are the same. only difference is that the aem has the carb sticker.
