Is this intake any good ???

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2474473628

Compared to AEM V2, what do u guys think ???

Should I get this or pay more for AEM V2 ?


p.s Does the AEM V2 come with a bypass valve or should I buy it?





cheers

COSMOs is... close to name brand, they make strut bars and stuff and shifter adapters... but 75 for their CAI is not worth it... spend more and get an AEM v2 or an Injen CAI or just get the 25 dollar ebay version with the K&N filter.

most air intakes work the same, except for their different designs in air flow. the filter makes a difference too.

i didnt really bother in buying an air intake system, nor headers, because it serves me no purpose. i had already bought a turbo for my h22.

well besides air flow what is an intake for.. basically you jsut made the point that you pay for better air flow, and a better filter, go for the v2 if you want all the gains you can, if you just want the sound, cut the resnators out and buy the filter.

you can't find any intake new on ebay for $25 that comes with a K&N filter....the filter itself is more than $25. you can get those cheap one on eBay their not bad, but if u have the money, i would go with the AEM V2 but its like over $200....i would go with a cheap intake on ebay and buy a K&N filter also or just get the Injen cuz its cheaper than the normal AEM most of the time and perform the same.

for u but not to experts. it might look a like but itz designed differently. some generic intake will decrease ur performance while it makes the sound u want.

I do and i dont know why because ive had the system checked out and the dudes like " no leak" Oh and a solid ( not flexible ) filter ( k @ N ) and R@D piping will make the gain not some duct tape peice of shit. Sorry for jacking but i had to be sur
