Fitment might be your only issue. But from what I hear, Bomz seems to be the better of the eBay ones.

As far as performance, a CAI is really a waste of money anyway. It's more of an appearance mod. You get like 2 rwhp out of it.

"Increase 7-13 Horsepower & 5-10 ft/lb Torque."

Those are wrong numbers, very wrong.

It's in your head. You can't feel 2 hp. You'd have to have a few million extra nerves in your *** to feel 2 hp.

The way I see it is a 2 hp gain is still a gain and every little bit helps. I wouldn't spend $150.00 or more for that little gain though but for $50.00, hell yeah.

Just keep all the old parts just in case. Most the ebay ones do not have the C.A.R.B. sticker so they may not pass smog.

Ilive in louisiana i have no cats..they dont check for that stuff at all im pretty sure ill be fine..fitment is my only concern but it sounds like i will be fine..i will post back on here in a few days and let yall know how it went..i also just got some flat back spray paint for cars at auto zone and painted that silver rectangle around the pony on the grill black and if i must say it looks so much better now and i also did the 3rd brake light bc it was all weathered out and it looks 10x better i highly recomend doing that if any of yall's cars has that problem.
