Cheap intakes
 

Do the cheap intakes on ebay work? or should i spend more money and buy an AEM?

RE: Cheap intakes
 

will it work as an intake? yes. will it work better than the stock airbox? maybe. will it work as well as a brand name? no

get the AEM

RE: Cheap intakes
 

They'll work, just not as good as a brand name. They probably won't fit as good either.

RE: Cheap intakes
 

Stick with a brand name. You won't be disappointed.

RE: Cheap intakes
 

if you get in on e-bay make sure you get it from a good company, else you might get one that dosent even fit (found this from other peoples experience)

RE: Cheap intakes
 

plus you'll probably end up having problems with it... then you'll have to get another cheap intake which will cost you money in the long run. name brands are guaranteed to last longer.

My cheap intake sounds like the toilet's flushing.....constantly :D

RE: Cheap intakes
 

now that you herd it, go with induction leader, AEM.

or be ghetto and stick a piece of PVC pice in there...j/k...

RE: Cheap intakes
 

^^^yeah um...DONT do that or i will castrate you^^^

RE: Cheap intakes
 

the cheepo cai will function the same as an aem, but fitment may be better, i personally have a cheepo, well will have had after tommorow and it fit fine, its kinda hit or miss

RE: Cheap intakes
 

mine works good too, I don't have any complaints...yet...

RE: Cheap intakes
 

when it comes to somethin like an intake you are gonna want to spend your money on the brand names, no cheepos, the performance won't match up, and in the long run you'll end up having to replace the cheepo one and wishing you did it the right way the first time, stick with AEM it'll put a smile on your face i promise.

RE: Cheap intakes
 

exactly wat i said. thats ur best bet.

RE: Cheap intakes
 

I've some experience with the ebay cheapies while doing a LS1 swap a couple of years ago and what we found was the filters were just crap. personally I think if your going to go with a ebay chepie atleast get a name brand conicle air filter to put on it.

RE: Cheap intakes
 

yeah that^^

but the only reason the cheapo intakes work is because if you take apart your stock box, you notice the entire inside is...well...filter. so it breathes horribly. the cheapo intakes breathe easier, but brand names are actually tuned to give you the best performance
