Provided it mounts securely, it's an ok deal. The filter, if indeed a K&N, is about $30 by itself...the tube seems kinda skinny though...like a 2-2.5" diameter.

[hr]Item will now include BLUE CONNECTORS and HOSING. The Yellow Looks Horrible. Also, the welded on brackets have been removed.[hr]

--Not very encouraging, coming from the seller...

no, that was a terrible deal. i bought one of them e-bay cheapos and the thing broke twice. the welds are not good at all and they break. not to mention my new injen is a 3" pipe and those cheapos are only 2.5" Look at the filter, it is at least 1/2" too big for that pipe. And, well, there is no mount relocation bracket for the trans so good luck gettign the cold air extension pipe in there who ever bought it.

Thanks. I was just distracted cuz they said it had a K&N filter, and I've heard some of the replica CAI's on eBay are good.

Tell you what, about the only cheap knockoff intakes I would consider would be the ones off of RSVERSION.COM. I have ordered a few for some of my cheap friends[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] and they are well made. None have broken yet and the filters have also held up pretty good--of course we don't have harsh winters here in Dallas.
