I am finally ready to buy a cai and i just happened to stumble by this one on ebay made by roar. i guess. Has anyone hear or used this intake before? They are asking $299.00+$16.00for s/h Is that a good deal?

*EDIT - eBay links not allowed

 

Never heard of it and I wouldn't pay that much for just a short ram.

Go with Comptech at that price.

 

For almost the same money you can get an Icebox or an AEI CAI.

 

please dont waste your money...if you want to spend $300 on an intake, get the Comptech Icebox or AEM V2

 

i wouldnt pay more then 20 buxs for that filter! its a RIP

 

Thanks guys for all the feedback!!! Now what is a better intake AEM V2 or the COMPTECH ICEBOX?

 

oh man, this is discussed 3 times a day.

 

haha...its ok, but for future reference, use the search feature - Im sure it has been discussed before and you can learn alot - ok the Comptech Icebox provides good gains (it and the AEM V2 give the best), but the Icebox looks virtually stock in design and while it does give a nice growl when you get in the VTEC range, it is much quieter than the AEM or any other CAI.

summary
Icebox - great gains, looks stock and quietest aftermarket intake - but the only intake other than a short ram that you wont have to worry about the 1% change of sucking water into your engine.

AEM V2 - great gains, looks sweet and sounds awesome!
AEM or Injen CAI - good gains - and both look good and sound good like the V2
AEM or Injen Short ram intake - least gains, but most sound - keeps filter in the engine bay

 

$300 and ugly. Ive got some magic beans to sell you.

 

Yo, the reason its so damm expensive its 'cause its carbon fiber. It'll probably yield good gains...but ITS NOT A COLD AIR INTAKE...its a short ram.

I would never buy it for that price, but you gotta understand it'll look damm good, it'll roar damm loud (yes louder than any CAI), and it'll give good gains. This guy sounds legit.
