The ones on ebay DO work perfectely fine. your getting ripped off when you buy a 130+ dollar set-up. "cold air" intakes dont really cool done the air temp enough to make a difference. Your getting the performance out of the straightened air flow. When you smooth out the air flow, the more velocity you have and the quicker the air will enter the engine. Brands dont mean ****.
dude, i know exactly how it works so you dont have to treat me like a dumba$$. the quality of the ebayers is straight s***. if the ebayers are so good how come very few people use them???
if you really know how a CAI works...then you would agree that the ebay CAI's are just as good as the rest....

ALMOST STOCK......that is one sexy engine bay!!! mad props bro!

on ebay they can be had for $50...cold air is cold air, doesn't matter what brand...go with the fenderwell mount
sounds like a pos that will be restrictive. if you get a cai go with a quality name brand and not a get what you paid for pos from ebay.
sounds like you dont know what your talking about. cold air is cold air, and the ebay kits have smooth bends just like the expensive cai have. only an idiot would spend $130+ on a piece of pipe

My know-it-all-about-mustangs-boss and friends like to warn me about getting an intake close to the ground because of water getting in. Any merit in this?

I know we are talking about ebay intakes, but what do you guys think about JLT cold air intakes i found them on americanmuscle.com, they say they come with a MAF adapter what is this? they look really clear. o btw my ebay cold air fits like crap i had to changet it to a short ram to make it fit better.
