What do you guys think about those cheapo intakes on ebay? I can get a regular one for around $40, and a cold air for $45. Anyone tried them?

 

acutually my friend bought the bomz one off ebay for his 98 protege, 4 banger 1.8, he got the short ram and i helped him install it yesterday. they still got a decent sound to it tho, not bad for simple piping and rubber sleves, but still doesnt compare to the sound of my CAI, SRI r supose to be louder, but his SRI is so quiet compared to my aem cai.

go wit the good stuff..

 

you get what you pay for

if anything, swap out the filter they give you with a KN

 

I just installed a bomz short ram intake on my TLS for the winter today. I hate it, there's a big humming noise coming from the intake and it's really annoying. You really get what you pay for... When I had my AEM cold air intake, I had no problem with it. I loved it

 

I have an ebay cai and I love it. It makes the same sound as the AEM. I would recommend changing the filter to a K&N cone filter. Other then that its exactly the same as expensive ones.

 

all intakes are the same, its just piping, if anything the only thing that can make a difference is the filter, i have an aem v2 and am considering getting rid of it

 

YEP, just piping with a filter at the end cant really mess that up, but u can stick a logo on it and charge 300bucks for only 40bucks worth of product!

 

I love my Injen

 

sell it to me
*edit* wow way to throw me off resurecting an 2 year old thread, but if your still selling it

 

they dont have anything close to the aem v2 in the knock off intake market so it would b stupid to get rid of it but to each his own...and all SRI's hum like vaccuums cuz thats what they are lmao...the ebay ones are fine IMO just need a new filter

 

not all SRIs i have the aem SRI right now and its silent untill you romp the pedal, no humming. loud tho

 

if you have a short ram and you put pipe where the cold air goes direct to the filter in the sri would that work better for the sri or its the same

 

The concern with me is, SRI's location is by the battery/stock filter, which the SRI draws in heat from the engine bay compared to a CAI where it draws colder air. If your on a budget, get a K&N Filter, save up and then buy the Injen CAI or AEM CAI.

 

i wouldnt recomend an SRI, i was just on a budget at the time and wanted the sound.the car looses its pep on REALY hot days

 

So I can get a Cheapo 40 shipped CAI from ebay and put a new filter on, so how do the gains compare with AEM or Injen

 

no diff if you have a decent filter the rest is just pipe and couplers.

 

i bought one for my type-s. But when I hits v-tec my car screams like a GSR. i didnt change the filter.

 

hmmm found a couple on ebay for $45 shipped. AEM filter for $20.

 

You get what you pay for. Id stick with the Big 3 brands

 

Kris I said Batman....

I found a Fujita for the accord, I didnt thinkg they made them for the v6

 

^I thought the were only for the 3rd gen TL's.^ Where'd you find this?

 

I had a cheap ebay cai intake and the mounting bracket broke off which caused the filter to sit on part of the car for awhile before i noticed it and now the filter also has a hole in it which causes a really annoying hiss.

 

Hmm, I feel like getting me an AEM Cai now. I never believing in cheaping out when it comes to car parts as it is on the car for a while.

 

I ordered one off of ebay. should get it this week. I only want to see the quilty and use the pipe with a AEM filter.
