generic intake off ebay?
Is this intake any good...?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38634
I know its obviously a generic intake, but has anybody bought this one or one like it off ebay? Is there good success from these? I know not to actually expect the gains they say (5-12? yeah right) but I'm interested in getting a little more low end power. It doesn't have to be tons, but something that I can at least feel a difference in. I was thinking about getting this intake and then getting the denso iridium plugs and maybe headers? I don't know. Anyways, is this a good deal? or if I'm going to get an intake should I really stick to the name brands?
Thanks!

Rep Power: 0 You could just get that generic intake for looks. Makes no difference between all Short Rams. Or you could invest in the K&N FIPK II... I don't know if it's for automatics, but it would be worth the money. Then again, since you have an automatic, you may not notice any power gain at all.

Rep Power: 0 I bought this same Intake and I have an automatic I noticed a big difference no so much I would go racing on the street with it but I know how your feeling and I got what I wanted but at the same time you will have to get the Neuspeed or DC front sturt bar because it sits kind high.

Rep Power: 0 Bolemite24, So you have that exact intake? Was it a good enough difference that you'd say its worth the money? If I'm not getting a strut bar would you recommend it? because I don't know if I'm getting a strut bar or not. Thanks!

Rep Power: 0 AEM is powder coated to resist heat better. Those generic intakes arent good for anything. You will probalby lose hp off of it. You pay for the quality you get.

don't buy generics. Whatchu gonna do when inspection time rolls around? Or if a popo pulls your over and decides to check under your hood? Gotta have the carb sticker.

If you **** a cop off enough, he can do the whole nine yards on you. ie: you get pulled over for going 5 mph over the limit supposedly, and try to defend yourself. All of a sudden you're fined for illegal tints, exhaust too noisy, cleared lights etc.

Rep Power: 0 Blah... I got a generic one and it didnt even have all the mounting parts needed. The brackets that are normally welded on to mount the thing weren't even on there. Find a used brand name one where you at least know what youre doin. But its your car.
