just spend $30 on an ebay intake and $30 on a good k&n or aem filter. an aluminum tube is an aluminum tube, is the extra $200+ really worth a sticker that says AEM on it?
I just want to be sure its actually mandrel bent and comes with a decent mount. the previous owner put an ebay special in here and the mount is so flimsy that it moves around everywhere and wore a hole into the top part of the piping, its also scratching the hell out of the radiator fan casing. filters don't work so well when there's a hole in your intake :/ Have the rest of you had better luck with the beay ones and maybe the previous owner of my car just didn't set it up properly?
