well i don't see nothing wrong with the intakes on ebay but they are not carb certified. in case you are asked to pop your hood at a control you might get into trouble, even thou i don't see how it affects the emissions. it's the law

Just look at the materials in the intake. You want a minimum number of bends in the pipe for the best flow, so look for one specifically made for your car. Also they probably use aluminum which absorbs a lot of heat defeating the purpose of CAI. You might want to powder coat it or use some ceramic paint. The low price might also be due to a crappy filter. If you paint the pipe and buy a new filter it should be as good as any major brand.

i bought an AEM knockoff off ebay(short ram) for $15 with a K&N filter on, its still chromey and all and works fine i guess, not that i ever had a real AEM to test against, but im sure its not off by much.

They use a K&N filter, but it is made for them and you cannot buy one like it from K&N. It doesn't make a big hp difference though, and the filters are like $130 from AEM
