Default cheap ebay intakes

im just curious if anyone has actually bought one of these 75 dollar cheap ebay intakes?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-07...spagenameZWDVW

I was sitting here looking at it and going..."man for 75 bucks that must be a piece of junk" but then I started thinking how bad can it really be? I mean its just some metal tubing with a filter stuck on the end. I mean...how do you **** that up? And it probably even gets better flow than the stock one, you get the added sounds since its not closed in, and doesnt most of the performane from a CAI come from the tune anyway? Meh. just thinking outloud.

Look's like the Ricer community came up with a way to take some power away from the Mustang.........That inlet tube looks a lot smaller than even the Stocker.


You'll want something like this....

Yeah i was thinking about that too, my guess is that isnt the actual picture of the mustang one they ship because of the way the tube is bent in and that would make the cone face downwards [&:] its probably just some generic pic.

Seeing as how the AFE one I have is listed at $351 on their website, I'd be hesitant of an intake that only costs $75. It definitely looks odd too...JMO
