E-Bay CAI's?

[Sinch]

Anyone buy one of those cold air intakes you see on E-Bay all the time? How does it work for you? Are there any Generic Injens and Aem's to look out for or are the just some piece of pipe with a hole in it? The one in paticular I was looking at was the "Bomz" one.

Thanks!

I would be weary ordering one of those ripoffs. Bottom line is you get what you pay for, so it would seem wise to dish out a little more cash to get an AEM or AOS, or the like for proven performance not just empty promises that these generic CAI's claim.

i bought the "BOMZ" one from ebay just for the little piece that goes between the MAF and the TB.. the seller shipped very fast. its just like the injen one only about $180 cheaper

I have a generic one piece e-bay CAI, and I love it. It is the 3" tubing and fit quite nice. I could tell the difference in performance when I put it on. cost me about 50 shipped.

It's not that I want to go cheap with my car...it's just that I am planning on buying a turbo kit for my car (or make my own) and I don't see the point in throwing a bunch of cash away on a good CIA.Tiburondave Is this the one you have?



All the Bomz ones seem to be gone I might wait for those to show back up.

Hey thats the one I have in my car, it was 65.00 shipped to my door in like three days. Works great and looks great

Right on. I think I'll get this one as it realy dosen't matter in about a year I'll be tossing it.

Are you getting a bypass valve? you can usually pick them up off e-bay pretty cheap.

Naw I live in a desolate arid armpit of the universe, we seriously average like 3-6 inches of rain a year.....
