I have a Ebay 1 on right now but they tend to get water spots and stains on the piping real bad..Truthfully they tend to look like crap after a while...

Is yours chrome? or like just aluminum? I spray painted mine... looks better and the water spot problem isn't as visible unless I drive through the country backroad after a rain or something.

Yeah, if you're gonna get an Ebay CAI make sure its chromed, and if its not, just spray it with clear coat to keep the metal finish look, or paint it any color you want. Also, like contagious said, get a K&N filter for it. Also make sure the inside of the tubing is smooth, if its rough, then its pretty crappy.

+1.

I go with quality over saving a few bucks.

Nothing is better than having my nice red K&N Typhoon Intake sitting there next to my MPx Polished Aluminum Throttlebody. It really is a beautiful combination to have and look at (for people who gave up on go.... you slackers)
