Yep, the 3.0L intake is one of the best bang for the buck mods.

There are some real CA Intakes on ebay now! I think these would work really nice for our cars.

that one actually looks like just a WAI...as in it goes behind the engine. or so it looks like with the pipping.

Not at all. If you look at all the piping in the pictures you can see how it directs the tubing over the battery, and from there down under the battery tray near the tranny.

It looks just like the ones that go behind the engine, the only difference is the second piece of short pipe when most are a single pipe. There isn't any sufficient bends for the pictured kit to go down like the Iceman CAI and it is too long as well.

It's still a WAI...alot of times eBay sellers don'tput the right picture of the part for the specific application on their listing.

I don't even know why i'm trying to justify this, cause I don't really care but....... If you look at all the CAI's on ebay you can see that some kits come with the extra elbow pipe, and some don't. I've never met a hacksaw and a file that couldn't fix an aluminum tube being too long. I would email the seller and ask about the extra elbow, instead of just saying it's garbage & won't work, but I don't have an account.
