Cheap Cold Air?

I was looking on ebay for Cold Air Intakes for my 04EX. There are lots of cheap brands with names I have never heard of before. Do they work the same or do I get what I paid for? I am not in the rice I mean race scene (JK!)and just wanted a lil extra sound from the front since I have a stick. Do I need to get INJEN or K&N for like $250 or these brands for like $90?

Thanks for all the input!

MIKE

if buying a cheapo 90$ isnt cheap. usually cheapos go for 10$ cuz they are poor quality.

If you just want sound then go ebay. The majority of the power to be gained from an aftermarket intake is in the filter design. The ebay brands won't have quality filters and they will most likely crack at the mounts, but the same could be said for many of the brand name intakes.
