whatever you do, don't buy the INJEN Cyborg CAI.

The rubber mount that comes with it is flimsy and replacement parts are pain in the butt.

That's the FAQ link. It should answer many questions on intakes. Also do a search on the subject. It comes up a lot & there are many threads on it.

I feel the same way, an aluminum tube is an aluminum tube, air can not tell the difference. Just stupid to blow 250 on a peice of pipe. Spend $50, and buy AEM sticker...

I built my own when I did my TypeS intake manifold and throttle body transplant.

That looks great, what did it end up costing you?

I think I paid $35 for the aluminized piping
$15 for all the clamps and hose couplers
$50 for the filter
$25 for powdercoating

$125

Sad part is it's sitting in a box in my garage. I recently switched to a TypeS OEM airbox. Was getting tired of having to clean the filter.

so i read the noob forum about intakes, and it says if you buy an ebay CAI, put a K&N filter on it. How would i perform if i put a universal Greddy air filter on instead?
