Default eBay CAI's

Alright, so I really can't justify spending more than $100 on a CAI when there are some on eBay for less than $50, so my question is which eBay CAI to go with? Any specific eBay store CAI's you guys have used and I can go with? Unless I get some compelling information as to why I shouldn't go with an eBay intake, I'll probably pick one up within the week. Thanks!

i love how so many people say that. the k&n filter will cost you a good 60 bucks. you can get most ebay cai's cheaper than that.

Ok, the only thing I don't get is how can one CAI differ from another? They're both getting air from the same place, I don't see how it can really be worth more. Which mechanical parts are that much better? I'm probably just going to wait and see if I can find one someone's getting rid of on here. Straight shot doesn't sound too bad... I might have to get back to you on that raz...

A CAI is piping going into your throttle body.

It's funny how people try to justify their own spending of $200+ on some piping, meanwhile knowing they can get the same thing for $20 of ebay. I'll admit my ebay cai had some fitment issues but nothing too serious. And some people try to say thingslike the glueon them ddoesnt hold, but there is no glue on cais so i dont know wtf theyre talking about.

$20>$200 for some metal piping

It's just $200 that could of been spent on something more useful.
