Rep Power: 0 First of all from what I have heard, ProcarParts.com sucks in terms of service and communication. Secondly, I thinka few people on here have tried their intake for our cars and said that they don't fit right. I think they said the intake wouldn't allow the hood to close properly. My suggestion would be to go ahead and spend a little more and get something you can trust, injen, aem. But if you still want to save money, I have seen a new intake for our cars on eBay lately. Importech (made by Nakayama, which is made by OBX I think) cold air intake. It's selling for like $60. If you want you could give that a try and write up a review on it for everyone...

Rep Power: 0 Spend more and get the injen. Many times, procarparts stuff doesn't fit right, and probably will come with some cheaper material filter. Check their ratings on ebay, it's aweful. I ordered HIDs from them a while back, never got it, when i tried to call, it was constantly busy. After 2 days trying, I finally got through. Later, they cancelled the order saying the product is defective. The moral, avoid procarparts like a fat prostitute on Hollywood Blvd. and take your money elsewhere.

Rep Power: 0 Well, I don't know about fitment issues, but they are all basically the same. On a sri the filter is the most important aspect. I would go with a cai such as injen if I was you. The filter is what really serperates the brands and the location of the filter. You could buy a cheap intake and get a nice filter.

Rep Power: 0 lots of people have had problems with procarparts.com, avoid them, and definitely avoid their intake, it doesnt fit and they will refuse to accept a return because the fact that it doesnt fit causes it to get scratched. do a search and you might find the thread on the procarparts.com intake

Rep Power: 0 I have that one form pro car parts and I payed 120 for it. It does not fit it is not of our cars. I scratched the top trying to close it. They would not take it back. Then I had to cut it to fit. works fine now. But go with Injen.

Rep Power: 0 The next time I get something that i supposed to fit and doesn't, I'm going to mash it all up with a sledge hammer, torch it, put it in a box and send it to the owner of the company that made it. Just for the hell of it.

Rep Power: 368 if u want to save money, u can also grab one of the many cheap CAI on ebay... I think the importech one and a similiar one thats cheaper are AEM CAI replicas... the filter looks like cheapy 10 bucks stuff, so just find a K&N cone filter and slap it on. you'll have something almost as good as AEM's CAI.
I haven't seen actual photo of any OBX CAIs so yeah.. I dunno what those are like.
if you're interested, I'll sell my InJen SRI to you. heh.
