i had one on my car a while back before I got an AEM short ram. Like most any bolt on all it will do is change your powerband, not give you HP. I did notice a better low end with the cheap ebay intake and it had a lower sound as well. The AEM had better throttle response and sounds cleaner. The ebay one definately did not fit very well, but I never had and mechanical issues with it. Ill sell you my old one if you want! Fits DX/LX

So unless you're one of those people who gets an intake just for the sound it makes, you might want to do more research before you buy.

yea, i had a generic intake before...and yes, like stated above, the biggest problem with them was that:
1) it didn't fit properly
2) the bracket always definitely breaks after the first few days...
couple of other problems i find with generic intake is you'll find extra holes here and there sometimes depending on which one u buy...but if your definitely just looking for sound and looks, go with a generic....if your looking for performance, go with a brand name and spend the money...
i currently have the aem v2, and i absolutely love it...
but in all honesty, an intake is an intake....without heavy mods, it doesn't really do jack **** for your car...
