Has anyone tried one of those ebay intakes that look like the hks rs intake? They look the same and I figure either keeping the filter or even changing the filter. Anyone with experience with these?

 

I saw that thing to. I'd buy it just for the pipe, then buy an Apexi filter and slap it all together.

 

that's what I was thinking

 

I had an intake from ebay on an 04 civic it had noticible gains but fitement was terrible. now I would imagine that it would be hard to mess up fitement on a 12 in tube but non the less.

 

I have an Apexi filter on the oem tube and it is perfect. I also added a Apexi cold air box on to it and there was a slightly noticable difference after a longer run.

 

eBay . Except lightning......Bulbs, etc. Parts

I heard that FMIC are Ok too

 

i bought it for the pipe as well. however, do not use the filter and filter adapter.

 

If its the one with the blue HKS style filter and the chrome pipe, I'd say just use the pipe and the maybe the MAF adapter. Buy a different filter.Yes, I agree with you on this idea.

 

i agree
some ebay stuff is worth the cheapness

no i wouldnt get one of those there cheap and sux

 

If you guys just buy it for the pipe then that's fine, but you have to cut the silicon quite a bit. Whatever you do, do not put on the filter. I just tried it for fun and man I must had lost about 50 hp. I got beatten by a E36 M3 by 2 car lengths. He even took me at the launch. I'm not a pro racer, but I'm not that bad either. The filter restrict the intake a lot!!!!!!!

Yeah, just get the pipe and add an Apexi.
