main problem with buying say a no name ebay intake over a injen or aem is that

A. you don't get carb certification.... may matter in your state or it may not
B. sometimes they are not made properly.... meaning you can go buy an AEM or injen or something and it will fit perfect and it will have all the correct hose hookups and work great on your engine... as opposed to buying a ractive or a no name ebay intake that may not be bent just right or may be missing a vacuum or breather line etc.



I dunno I had a cheap intake.. (Ractive to be specific) and it didn't fit right and my engine threw codes all the time on it. I put stock back on and didn't get anymore codes. I refuse to buy cheap again. But at the same time I can't justify spending 200 some odd dolars on 5 HP at this point in my life soooo I deal with stock.




edit..... just noticed that after a year and a half of wonderful AF membership I have hit 1000 posts. on my birthday no less hmmm interesting.
