just a thought? Thank you =-)

 

don't do it.
you will get what you pay for.
besides just look at the guys feedback.

 

Just a question, whut would be the difference between that intake and say an injen, or K&N and all the better ones. Besides the air filters?

 

look at the location of the MAF , why is it near the filter and not closer to the stock location ( nearer the TB ) ?

look at the location of the crankcase intake ( yes that fitting is an intake of fresh, clean air INTO the crankcase, have seen many people put catch cans in this line , they also think that oil fumes are sucked into the system here , but thats another thread)

as long as the welds are quality , you install properly ( clean the inside very good) I don't see any problems with e-bay intakes. but you do get what you pay for.

 

I don't understand any of that really, I guess it's because im a girl LoL

 

just don't do it.
go with a good well known compainy like injen.
you will be glad ( down the road ) you did.
i got my injen short ram off ebay ( new ) at a steal, and im very happy with it.

 

short ram or cold air intake better?

 

depends on what you want/need.
short ram gives more torc and hp at a lower RPM ( thats were our box needs it IMO )and cleans up the look of the engine bay, but makes a hissing sound and isn't real noticable for show use.

a CAI spreads the torc and hp to the higher RPM rang and give a nice show look, but ive seen a few people have problems with strut tower bars / CAI combos. i don't know about any intake noise.

i like the SR better because of the sound when im in the upper RPMs and over 65% open throdel. GRRRRR
its lighter and gives me more room in the engine area to do other things.

 

The location of the MAF and vent is what I noticed first... that think looks like a real POS.

Seriously, spend the extra money and be sure that you have a quality part.

 

oh no... you bid on it!!!!
id retract your bid if i were you

 

Yea, she also bid after we told her that that thing was crap...
Why ask if you're still gonna do it? Hope it works out for you.

 

if you noticed the filter is on the wrong end!!!

its a clone of the injen cai!!!

who ever set up to to take those pics is a real moron

 

Hopefully the actual piece is of better quality than their photographer is.

 

I completely forgot I bid, I'm going to see if they'll work around me and otherwise not get it. Thanks I want a short ram I believe.

 

Go get an FX1 Intake from ssuperstore.com I have one and its great.

End of story.

if you are going to go with an eBay intake, just do one thing... trash the filter before it falls apart or totally off the base and into the street. This is not a good thing! Replace with K&N filter. good to go

 

My K&n intake works great. I would recommend it.
