Big Chamber Intake Pipe (eBay)

I wonder if this is worth buying or not, looks pretty cheap...

But this is even more interesting, a knock-off to AEM by the name IEN? Looks pretty clean...

Looks like a homemade inatake to me. Who knows what gains if any it would give. Id say stick to something thats been tried and true.

I would suggest to stick with CT IceBox or the branded CAI. Something that have been tested and used by a lot of ppl.

Just my $0.02.

Cheers !!!

Any intake or exhaust part that is made to flow air efficiently cannot have sharp bends like that piece. It won't mess anything up, but its value as a performance piece is highly suspect.

Yeah, it looks like some defective turbo muffler, LoL. The other intake on the second link is interesting, looks like an exact knock-off of AEM but with the name IEN. There's some weird stuff on ebay, I think I'll stick with my cold air setup with my AEM Ram Air. I'll try and post pics...
