Dont sweat it. Hey you only paid $30. I wouldnt have dealt with him because of his points. At least you didnt pay $100 or more. Its alot of junk and scammers on Ebay thats why I dont like ordering from them. Now you know if you want them order from that other site you found. Make sure you leave him so bad feedback and see about getting your money back or something like that. So does this mean that these CA kits are junk also on Ebay?

No a intake is a intake . Its the filter that counts. I have a ebay intake for 3yrs now and works just as good as my injen in my acr . Also have a cf show filter for spring and summer and my K&n for fall and winter. A few have the ebay intake also on here.

You want as smooth a tube as possible. So makin a PVC or ghetto intake won't net as many (by a couple... but those couple do matter) ponies and a one piece, bent, tube will.
That being said... you did make a crappy choice. Its good you didn't spend much.
Secondly, With the EBAY CAI's, the Filters in those kits are junk. The kits.. cruddy meterial but they work fine if you buy a K&N filter (Now where is my sponsorship K&N???).

about the cai "kits" your talkin about. i built my setup from 3 inch intercooler piping and fittings and i noticed a difference from my stock intake. so i dont think all kits are crap. i think any cai kit is fine as long as the filter is a good one. the only problem i see is if you use plastic or something that will heat up faster in the engine bay. then the air you get isnt really colder anymore.

It seems like most cars have CAI (long pipe that goes in fenderwell) But i chose a short ram intake because it is less of a hassle to get to the filter to clean and i also don't risk sucking water from floods (im in new orleans...home of the hurricanes)

WTH??? Airwolf... did you even read it???
I said that the NameBrand is made out of slightly better materials. Thats it. You might pick up only 1 hp or 2 but thats it. The Ebay's are just as good.
PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH

I just thought since they were so much cheaper they were no good. Those name brand intake kits are over priced. They dont have to cost that much for a pipe and a filter. Well thanks guys so now I know I can get one from Ebay. So its best to swap out the kitsfilter for a name brand one?
