also, try searching around the forums in the future before you post something like this. this question has been brought up many times

 

i beg to differ slightly. a tube is a tube, but the quality of the tube matters sometimes.

youre gonna get some better quality construction with a name brand but they all do the same thing (suck in air).

i chose to buy an Injen because I actually like my car enough to buy some nice stuff for it. others might say go cheapskate and save some jack.

it's your money. do what you want with it.

I did.

BTW, look how SHINEY my Injen is... lol.

 

i'm more of a gunmetal fan... V2 FTW!!!

 

yeah, an ebay intake will do the job, but the biggest difference is that you WILL get more power out of most name brands. I guarantee im getting more out of my v2 than anyone is out of their generic. Maybe not enough to justify the extra money to you, but hearing the way they sound plus knowing i was getting a few more hp was enough for me. It's up to you.

 

nice.
your eng bay is so clean! how u do that

dont BUY cheap ebay intake. i have one, they looks cheap, but get the job done you know. im planing to buy the CF passwordjdm.com intake
looks sick
anyways, dont buy CHEAP ebay ones. AEM or injen is better....

 

I got a Bombz cai off eBay. Works and fits just like an AEM or Injen.

 

^ yeah i got the Bomz SRI for my car, have never had any issues with it, sounds nice, and performs well.. But i do plan on getting something quality in the future. maybe an AEM or Injen, or maybe the whale ***** from PasswordJDM

 

like many others have said before, when u pay for name brands such as AEM, DC, Greddy, etc...ur paying for their efforts in testing and development. u pay that extra $50-100+ for the best quality and most power. intakes from companies on ebay arnt bad, yes its just a tube, but the quality of the tube can be bad and the bends in the tube may not be able to give u as much power as something from a name brand. the gains between name and non-name brands would prolly be hardly noticeable, but its there.

 

no point in me saying this, but yeah man I have an ebay brand p.o.s but gave it a aem air filter best way to go
