Yea they suck. I bought the one with the k&n just because intake doesent matter as long as you have the k&n filter...well i ended up not getting bolts and nuts for the maf and then the one of the blue boots did not fit on the pipe. So right now i have from TB the stock rubber tube to the air sensor to the maf to the filter. I guess it will be ok for now until i can get the right stuff to attach the pipe. So i recommend to not buy the intakes off of ebay. Even though its cheap its crap. I am done with non name brand ebay stuff.

 

HAHA! Someone close this.



Only before it gets out of hand.

 

They suck!

ROAD/RACE

 

lol rock u just wanna sell us more intakes

 

I can tell you from experience...for the most part, unless you are buying a good used part, all that ebay crap sucks

 

i thought you wanted your intake to suck...

what i did was i used the stock tube that went from the TB to the airbox, connected the MAF to that with the MAF plate from my ebay intake, and then stuck this APC steel mesh filter onto the MAF--it works just great as a SRI. i did need to use one of the boots from the ebay intake--but i had one that would fit quite well.

sucks that they didn't send you bolts though, that's pretty crappy.

 

Well, all I can say is, you CAN be lucky, or you can be UNlucky. You pay a cheaper price, you expect to sometimes have fitment and other issues.

I've also bought stuff on Ebay that has been perfect, and some that is utter crap quality.

Do your research, ask questions... I usually find the ones that have crap quality are the ones that the seller doesn't reply properly to. Say you ask 3 questions, and the seller only answers 2... then you have to be careful. Not to say the quality will certainly be bad, jsut it tends to be that way.

Of course, you could pay 2-3x more for a known quality intake from a big brand, and be assured of good quality... do the calculations, it probably works out slightly in Ebay's favour (since you are probably not going to half of the stuff turn out to be crap, maybe 1/4 or 1/3) but factor in your aggrevation ;-)

 

i had a cold air intake on my 05 OZ rally from ebay and it was awesome, and i bought my buddy one for his 05 tiburon SE V6 and his is just fine too. i guess you are unlucky.

 

i think it is funny how everyone says it is ebay intake or ebay this...ebay doesnt produce the intake

but yea u pay for what u get

 

Well i bought my s techs off of ebay and they are great. but yea i have the stock rubber tube on there but o well it will do. for now until i go turbo

 

i knew when i bought my ebay intake it wouldnt fit right but i was prepaired (which means i had zip ties and extra nuts and bolts for the mas) lol

 

i have a roadrace intake and i love the sound only thing different was i modified a HKS super sunction kit for the filter

 

That is all.
