http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1 this is a 25 doller intake i found on ebay would it pretty much be the same as any ol intake?

 

A tube is a tube. But the filter sucks, and probably isn't reusable like AEM or K&N. You may want to search before posting on product consultations next time, the is covered about 10 times a day.

Oh, and that's not a cold air intake, it's a short ram. The short ram filter is in the engine bay, while the CAI has a longer tube that routes it down near the fender and wheel well.

 

Yeah, its a cold air intake.

See how it bend at the end and it has another short peice of pipe.

But for the price, you can't beat it. Just replace the filter with a K&N and your good to go.

 

i would say its not the best intake in the world...or the best CAI for that matter...
but for $25....i'd give it a try....what the heck

 

yeah thats what i thought well i dont really have all that much mula right now casue i jsut bought the car i think im just gunna head over to advance and by apc one there only like 60 bucks i think when i looked at it what dou think bout the apc?

EDIT:yeah its like 55 bucks with shipping and handling and im impaicent so ill prolly just by the apc then by a K N filter when i get paid again

i spent $40 on my ebay intake. works great. i would change out the filter though. and check it for rust and **** every now and then.

 

the way i see it, buy an ebay $5 intake. A polished pipe is pretty much a polished pipe. Just swap off the no name filter for a K&N

 

works all the same.

 

Or you could ditch the intake tubing altogether and steal a piece of your woman's pantyhose. Wrap the TB in that and you're set .

 

you get what you pay for

The ultimate noise maker, which is what most ram air intakes are anyway.

 

i bough one of these cai on ebay about 2 years ago at the time it was 65 bucks shipped, which was super cheap at the time, we compare the tubing to my friends aem cai, and it was the same,tested temperature on both after hard driving and both were at the same level. even mounted at the same location as the aem.
after 3 months i replaced the filter with a k&n.
i say as long as you plan on switching to the k&n filter down the line then you should def get it, i bet a dyno side by side with both having k&n filter will produce the same numbers.

 

IMO intake is nothing but an aluminum pipe, the size and filter does matter though. I wouldn't spen hundred of dollar on name brand intake when a $30 can do as good as them

Too restrictive. Go with the fishnet version, and you'll be making 2-3 more at the wheels
