Default Spectre Cold Air Intake

Does anyone know of this? I saw it at advance auto parts.
I know it looks like crap having 3-4 pieces welded together instead of one and it's $150 bucks..
I figured I might buy it just because it's only $150, but I believe you get what you pay for.. Just wondering if it would be worth it at all.
Kind of like an Ebay intake or something probably.

What's the MAF size? Need to know if it requires a tune (even though quite a few that claim not to still end up throwing a lean code). Even if it doesn't, you'll gain MAYBE 4-6 RWHP IF you're lucky. Save for the real deal; a good CAI & tune combo for that sweet 20-25 RWHP gain.

There's a link to Jegs. I don't know the MAF size, didn't catch it. The only reason I thought of considering it like I said is it's cheap haha. I'd never be able to save up for a good one. Plus I want an Injen, and I found it for like $360-$380.. I remember buying one for $250 when I had a celica...

Well, I guess for about $325 I can get a tuned intake for 15HP. Not bad I suppose.

Save up for a real CAI/tuner package, it'll blow the doors off that JEGs crap.
