found a "cheap" injen, should i get it?

[reut1]

ive been on and off about cai's for a while now and think im going to go for it with hopes of increasing my mpg. found a used injen on ebay which was buy it now for $125 but i started bidding on it and got the price up to around $115 now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Inje...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

also found a NIB one for 210 shipped http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Inje...r_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item439afa5d37

then im also debating a simota twin charger from protephile if he even has any left.

is that price on the NIB one worth it or should i go for the used one, or the simota.

why not? You can even get a cheap 75 dollar one...doesnt matter. You are not gonna get significant gain. Imo i wouldnt spend more than that(the injen one) for an intake. For the p5 at least.

 

[msp5]

that aint a bad deal, go for it

 

[reut1]

i just got a pm from the guy i was bidding against and sounds like he may want it more due to his stock intake going bad. ill step aside since i dont need to upgrade at all. maybe ill get my hids instead, or one of the k&n sri's from ebay

That's BS - he's probably just trying to trick you out of it. Show no mercy! (fight)

P.S. - Tell him he can get a new stock intake for $35 on RockAuto.com. There, see, you're saving him money

 

[reut1]

haha, i think what i may do is get a twin charger from protephile. cheaper than a used injen and seems like people like it

or ill just buy a cheapy cheap ebay sri

Read my post in this thread concerning the Injen intake.

You should not gain enough MPG to justify the cost.

Check tire pressure/tune up/ and drive the speed limit (or no more than 10 MPH over.. )

Reduce excess weight.

I have a full INJEN cai, I don't have the P5 anymore. Interested? Give me an offer!

I converted mine to short ram, I enjoy the low end pull much better than the high end pull. (yupnope)

 

[reut1]

yeah i really enjoy my low end with the modded stock box. i may just keep that and put the k&n drop in instead and save money for exhaust or suspension

 

[hornsfan10609]

There is an ebay short ram intake I can get for around 40 shipped that I am considering getting and eventually getting a better filter for but I don't want to hurt the tiny amount of torque this car puts out as it is. I have a k&n drop in filter right now with the grille cut for the part that goes over the radiator, I just am not sure if the cheap intake would actually help me any.
