What's in the brand name?
Can anyone tell me why I should spend the extra $200 dollars to get a brand name intake such as K&N or AEM or Injen. I look on ebay and see all these intakes for around $40. Then the K&N or AEM or Injen intakes run anywhere from $120 to $250. The less expensive ones are made by JDM? Decent brand? Thanks

HAHAHA i am sorry for laughing, but JDM mean Japanease Domestic Market, it isn't a name brand, it is a fad that is going on right now, some people will ****** up ANYTHING that has JDM in the title.
the intakes you see on ebay are just generic brands, if you are low on money just get an ebay intake and put a K&N filter on it.

^ i wouldn't ay comparable, but you will notice a little difference in throttle responce and a bit more power even with the generic intake. they are just not dyno proven like the AEM and Injen and K&N intakes are. they are literally just piece of metal pipe with a filter on it. where AEM, K&N, and Injen had research and development for their intakes so they prove the results are there

Go with the ebay ones. Thats what i did. Like what My05Civic was hinting at, a tube is a tube, metal is metal, so go get yourself an ebay one with the tube and then go buy an aem dryflow filter which i did. Saves you lots of money and with the same performance. Yeah i'm one of them dudes who don't see the point in buying name brand **** that cost like 4-5 times more when i can get something much cheaper with the same performance, and yes the ebay one i got works wonders. I feel the gains and just go buy a filter, thats the most imporant part. The filter. A tube is a tube, metal is a metal lol. If its made out the same **** then why spend 250 bucks more????
