has anyone heard of this brand?
i havent...

it should fit but your taking the companies word

i would just go with an ebay intake and put an aem or k&n filter on it

or throw downa little more cashand get an aem SRI. aem is worth your money (v2 is a little over priced)
or aem cai

some of those cheap intakes are worse than stock...

but im a noob just putting in my knowledge...

That intake is the same as an ebay one. Don't pay 50 bucks for that, go on ebay and buy it for 25 or whatever. Just make sure you put a name brand filter on it. Those ebay filters suck and as vonjason said are worse than stock. If you buy the ebay one and stick a good filter on it, it'll work good. No need to buy the AEM, unless you got cash and/or need it to be CARB approved so you can pass smog inspection.

I was looking at the ones on Ebay but the shipping is around 20-30 bucks... so it would come out to be around 50 bucks anyways right?

And i know i wasn't going to keep the original filter. But ifIshould really stay away i guess i wont buy it. I guess il save my money and buy a more reliable intake.

Thanks for the help guys.

honestly your best bet would be going to advanced autoparts and getting a real brand like AEM as ricer as it sounds. those ebay intakes are about 30 bucks plus 40 bucks for shipping so that's 70 then not only that spending the extra 30 or 40 extra dollars to get a good filter.


so just save yourself the hassle and go to advanced or autozone.
i have one of the best AEM intakes they make on my civic. it's a ram air with a good filter that came on it and i only payed 90 bucks for it.
