Yep, bought one for my old 98 sixer, and was kicking my *** for doing so before I traded her in for my 5.0.

Why? Fitment Issues?

I have an eBay intake and it's great; however, you are taking a gamble with fitment.
Bomz is pretty good from what I heard.
Mine is K2 Motors and has been fine for me.

Fitment was a hair tight, but not overly bad, but the damn thing lost it's shine. I mean after about 6 months or so it's shine started to fade, and by a year the damn thing looked nearly satin, and then the rubber hose was starting to dry rot in a sense, my BBK is roughly 9 moths old, and other than the BBK sticker starting to peal and a nice scuff caused by my dad when working on the headers, it looks just as good as the day I took it out the package.

I bought one from eBay and i can't get the second pipe to fit so right now I just have the filter attached to the first pipe and I had to take the sencors off and now I get a check engine light all the time. Anyone got any pionters?
