Question Tokyoe Intake

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Tokyo...QQcmdZViewItem

I did a search and couldnt find any info on this. Have any of you had this short ram intake from Tokyoe? The price is quite tempting.

Theres actually another one for $5.99:

Any thoughts or comments are very much appreciated.

Thanks for the replys and warnings. I'm somewhat looking for a temporary thing right now just for the summer perhaps. I'm thinking that at some point I might even be annoyed hearing the loud intake all the time. But sound is what I'm looking for so that rules out CT. If these can last a few months it might be worth the money. And if i end up liking the loud intake, i might just go ahead and order an Injen or AEM.

But yeah, the tubes and install bars definitely look crappier than the injen or AEM.

BTW, is the filter provided with the AEM or Injen a K&N filter? If not, are they just as good?

TIA

so WRONG in so many ways. Please if you have something to say try to make sure it is CORRECT before posting.

Thank you.

AEM and Comptech offer better gains than others...

Also those ebay intankes are not CAI's They are short ram, & only sit in the engine bay & will pick up hot air from the hot engine. I heard they are louder then any of the CAI's out there all the time, not just when your on the gas.
