i got an ebay one the only thing i dont like is the finish it is a bit swirly if ur looking for good looks get a more pricey one. im thinking this spring when i repaint my brake calipers red and kawasaki ninja wheels black ill paint my intake with engine heat red paint and im hoping that will keep the cold air colder lol

anyone have any advice on how to prep and paint a cold air intake

 

I totally disagree with that!!!! 75% of the additions on my car are from ebay including the CAI, lowering springs, tb & plenum. Example: Breenspeed on there site had the TB & plenum for about 50 bucks more than what they had it on e-bay. I paid 80 bucks for the lowering springs from yeah, you guessed it right, ebay!

 

they're all the same. you're just paying for a brand name. dont waste your $$$ on expensive ones...

 

You're not gonna get much of a gain on our cars from a cai no matter which one you go with, so you may as well get whatever is cheapest. A K&N WILL flow more than a cheapy cotton filter, but not enough to make a noticable difference. Anyone who tells you otherwise is an idiot.

 

Go ahead and buy a 100 cai and let me know why is it better than the one I got for 40 bucks on ebay! You can even keep your stock intake, just remove the silencer and put K&N filter.

 

Ebay is fine before i switched over to the windstar intake thats what i used. all it is, is a metal tube and a filter not to hard to mess up and the guy's on Ebay get there stuff from the same suppliers that Autozone or discount auto do.

 

Pipe + filter = CAI

I spent 225 bucks for my bbk, but honestly its allll the same.

JTL on the other hand, hands down my favorite maker and i will never stray from them again. Not 100% on if they make any v6 products though.
