Was looking around at DIY air intake systems and putting one together then came across this and thought the price is amazing compared to other air intake systems. Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with it? I'm sure if someone made a good cai for that low a price it wouldn't go un noticed

 

Looks like a generic eBay one. If that's the case its does not restrict to stock size on the maf portion so it will throw a cel.

 

too bad, the maf housing has a tighter bend than the AEM short ram, would work better as a turbo intake for my battery relocation...

 

If it throw a cel would it still run right?

 

it will throw off your fuel trims, if the maf housing diamter is incorrect

 

for what its worth throw on an aem or kn filter and youll be set

 

I had an ebay "generic"cai and I didn't have a CEL or any other problems.

 

I would suggest not buying it...I tried it out and the piping was the wrong size. Threw my AFR out of whack. The car sounded like it had a huge cam in it at idle though haha. At Idle the AFR was at 18 and over

 

WOAH 18! Thats super lean.

 

Haha yea it is...but I did enjoy the big cam sound lol. I reverted back to my SRI and all is well. To OP, I suggest just getting a known name brand. I plan on going with AEM here soon for the CAI.

 

I'd pick it up and just change filters. U can get a aem or something similar for like 50-60 bucks on ebay, and if ur trying hard 20-30.
