Hey guys! New to the forum, I thought this would really warrant a new thread. As you all know, intake choices for the rdx are limited and very expensive! There are now quite a few listings for No-name intakes on Ebay. I can confirm they function perfectly and maf placement seems to be identical to the Typhoon intake. To find this wonderfully wallet friendly intake, one must go to eBay, type in rdx intake and sort by lowest price + shipping, put minimum price to $40 or $50 to weed out the irrelevant listings and the first intake you see will likely be the cheapest and at $60-$70!
Happy intake hunting!!!

i would still take a K&N over that.. it has the heat shield plus the pipe is a 1 piece design not a 2

Its possible the heat shield may help prevent some heat soaking, however! The two piece design allows you to place the man housing by the filter OR on the throttle body side.

Black market would be the wrong section. Not selling anything. Making people aware of a cheap alternative for one of the most common mods available for our cars. Oh and I'm a huge fan of your setup Ken! Watched your YouTube vids

not selling yes.. but sure leading into the fact that they could be the seller with words like "To find this wonderfully wallet friendly intake, one must go to eBay, type in rdx intake and sort by lowest price + shipping, put minimum price to $40 or $50 to weed out the irrelevant listings and the first intake you see will likely be the cheapest and at $60-$70"

What noise does it make on the intake. Is it louder than the stock one when the extension part is taken out? Also a friend bought an intake like that from KNN and we found out that the intake actually caused a lot of turbo lag and the stock intake was better. Does that intake have the same effect?

Had the same intake. Took it off due to a few factors. You have to get the maf angled just right, if not it will throw a code. I've tried near the throttle body and near the filter. The filter also sucks. It doesn't have enough...protection from dust particles etc. I used a K&N filter for it to circumvent said issue. It also made the ride a bit rough, loss of power at times etc. Switched back to stock and no more issues.
