I really don't see what the big deal is... the piping is just like brand name aftermarket CAI, they have poly or rubber interconnects with regular clamps, and the filter is K&N or an imitation. What's so bad about it? I'm leaning towards operator error, like nanaki said.

yeah I have heard a lot of success. I'm probably going to get one and will take my time installing it and do it right. It looks almost identical to the brand name ones just w/o the sticker

ebay does suck a lot sometimes. i ordered a walbro 255lph fuel pump about 2 months ago, opend it up everything looked to be there. so today i was going to install it in my new pump assembly...and guess what? the pump was WRONG. 99% of my supercharger is all set just mostly waiting on the friggin pump...and they sent me the wrong one. the junk it came with was right, the installation stuff...but the pump itself was wrong. hard to tell at first glance too. needless to say i had a granatelli 255lph overnighted from jegs, will have it tommorow.

I too have heard a few success stories, but I've also heard of several horror stories from the ebay brand intakes. I personally wouldn't trust them. K&N does so much research and fits each intake specifically to certain makes and models or cars. I don't think the ebay brand intakes do a very good job of this. If you're really handy you could probably get away w/ the ebay brand intake, but I highly doubt you are gonna find one thats a perfect fit like a K&N would be.

I watched an Xbox 360 BOX go down for 700 bucks on Ebay late last year, he said several times it was jus the empty box. Anyway back on topic, that is terrible to hear, if my car didn't have a CAI on it already i would never hang my nuts out there for a hit or miss chance with one of the cheap ones, especially if it could mean the life or death of your engine.

Mine is awesome, i gained 4 miles almost to the gallon, and the engine sounds great, i lucked out i guess, cuz i liked mine. I did repolish, i and i swear it looks just as good as mine friend' BBK

i had an ebay brand intake on my old car and loved it. i spent 30 bucks shipped and everything was there, fit perfect, and had it for a good 8 months.

the rust thing though? That's just the cheap sheet steel used for the airbox.
