cold air intake

im planning on making an account on ebay and buy a cold air intake and i want some feedback on how not to get ripped off heres a link to the intake i wanna get let me know what you guys think http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7968063983&category=38634

and also what else would i have to get with this item

Check the seller's feedback, and only buy from people who accept paypal. It's much easier for them to rip you off if you send them a check or money order.

Yeah, I bought that same kit from that same guy when I first got my bird. It sucks horribly. The chrome intake elbow it comes with has a huge hole in it. I e-mailed the seller about it and he claimed that it's for an extra sensor that some firebirds and camaros come with. That's b/s, I've never seen anyone have a 1in hole in their intake for a sensor. And the kit comes with a cheap intake filter. It comes in a small box, and the guy uses a permanent marker to cover up brand name. I got enough of the marker off to where I could read it, and it said "ASPEC." Which, I've never even heard of a intake company called ASPEC. And the guy didn't even give me enough pipe so that I could make the cold air intake. So yeah.. my suggestion, save up your money, and buy a nice SLP intake. Don't waste your time with that crap like I did.

or u can make your own like others suggested in another thread like this one. but that slp sure is nice, i droped the cash for it, very good set up

Actually the 3.8s do have a sensor, that's why the SLP kit for us comes with the elbow

Well, with the item description reading "Camaro Firebird V6 3.4L Cold Air Intake 93-95 Stg 2" and there being no sensor 1 inch wide about 7 inches down from the intake filter.. thus.. just leaving a gaping hole. i kind of found it to be a crappy deal ya know.

sure its not for a vacuum line? maybe its to relocate your iat sensor?

Could be to relocate the IAT sensor for cooler temps idk (i agree tho its a crap setup, and the 3.8s on ebay use 2/3 of the stock intake... hah! what POS')s
