Looks exactly like this one on eBay for about $75 shipped: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-04...mZ270145658650

Also, the one on eBay includes the throttle body spacer.

But no, I don't have experience with this one, sorry.

no offense but I would watch out for companies that can crank these out so cheaply. Just because your getting a deal doesnt make it a good investment in my book.
Stick with companies that have been around and have been tested or people that have had experience with them.
The one on EBAY seems to include a throttle body spacer BUT, in my experience these do absolutely nothing for the Hemi except give it an annoying whinning sound or whistle. Plus the fact that your getting the CAI and a throttle body spacer for less than a 100 bucks. I certainly wouldnt put it on my $40,000 truck. If you spent that much on your vehicle and care about it, why skimp on parts that are important.

Why pay more than you need to - just for the brand?

I don't know much about the 3rd strike intake but I have bought many things from the guy who runs that site and he is a great guy to do business with. I have bought diff gears, auburn limited slip, superchips and a true flow intake from him. He is a great guy and I would reccomend doing business with him any day.
