Ok, I have an AEM CAI on my 04. The filter is incredibly dirty! I recently purchased an AEM filter from a website that is an exact duplicate of the original filter that came with the intake. I paid 30.00 for this filter (outrageous). While awaiting arrival of the new filter, I found an ebay filter for something around 10.00...one of the filters that comes with the ebay intakes. Now I am wondering from anyone that might have an idea....

The quality appears to be the same on both filters...should I not trust the ebay filter and stay with the AEM or is quality about the same....the reason I really asked this question is because IF the quality is identical why charge 30.00 for an intake filter that you can buy for 10.00...? Thanks in advance...pics of both filters are included

yea, i seriuosliy doubt that ebays quality would be the same as aem's quality. If your lookin for a good filter get a K&N.
