it will do just as much for your car as the ones from other sites but its the cheapest in cost, according to the other members on here it nets you 2-3 rwhp, its mostly a mod you do for looks imo

I would just get this one if your looking for an intake------> http://www.americanmuscle.com/muv6coairins.html

The ones off ebay have mixed reviews some people have problems with fitment others don't its a gamble. And as far as gains nothing major now but it will go well with other mods down the road.

I have one from eBay too. Cost me about $50 after shipping, but I did have a problem with fitment. I managed to work around the problem after about 5 minutes though (one of the rubber connectors was the wrong size...answer: get the right size at the local hardware store).

Mine is very good in terms of quality, and came painted to match my car. As far as sound, it didn't change much, other than my air filter making it sound like the spooling of a turbo (not sure why that is).

Most people say the Ebay CAI is okay if the fitment is okay. I have a BBK CAI and I had no issues what so ever installing it and the spooling whine is normal.
