The Nitrous Mini!!! HAHAHA...so bad. Saw it on the 'rage forum already. Uses the same C02 cartridges I use on my bike. Such an awful premise. Like what is it, a 1 or 2 shot as opposed to the more standard 50-70...so awful. As for the e-bay intakes, run a search as a couple of peeps have already reviewed 'em. As for my take, I wouldn't want that stuff falling apart on me, even it is further down the road.

I say save your money and get something that is brand name and known to be reliable. Like the others said...the cheap one may hurt you in the long run...

I was going to go with RRM or RMR of an Injen but i figured intake is an intake and with snow and lots of other crap cold air is not for me. RRM is just an intake cone from KN right? For 150 dollars? why is that worth it?

NITRO...the RRM comes with the big filter, MAS adapter, all the hardware AND a CF heat shield. PLUS they have a proven reputation and they aren't some shady people with no customer service. you can probably get the RMR intake cheap, or make your own.

Mikenuts...i have the Injen CAI in jersey and it hasen't given me problems yet. maybe south jersey is diff. than up here. it really wont be affected unless it is submerged underwater.

constant splashing on CAI isnt bad. its when the con gets completely submerged, get ready for a hole in your engine.
besides ive met some hersy lancers with CAI they seem to have no problem with it.

Haha that mini Nos thing looks interesting

If you are worried about the Injen CAI then go with the Injen short ram( I got one)..prolly not that much of a differance in noticable performance between the two......you dont even have to worry about water in the engine and the thing looks great and works great

Dunno if there's any left, but there was a firesale on some choice RMR goodies a while back. Check the vendor threads and give that dealership a call. Chances are slim to none though.

i would agree with everyone else. go with a brand name, you'll be better off in the long run. As for the nitrous mini kit, i don't know, but I ordered it and am going to check it out when I get here. We'll see if its worth it.

Nitrous Mini Kit

Has anyone heard anything good/bad about the nitrous mini kit that sells on ebay. I'm just curious about them. I ordered one and will take a look at it when it gets here, but I wanted to hear others opinions. Is it safer than a 50-75 shot of NOS or still just as bad.
