does anybody think this is worth buying?

I'm a new member and I just picked up a 2003 TL-S, I'm looking for a CAI for my car and came across this, does anybody think its worth buying?

The tubing looks paper thin. Save you money and buy a real CAI. (I just got my AEM V2, can't wait to get it installed).

a pipe is a pipe. but everyone who bought ebay intakes claim the brackets dont line up correctly. otherwise i would have bought one and upgraded to a k/n filter and replace hoses

Look in to Comptech, AEM, or Injen intakes. Good luck.

for that cheap, DEFINITELY get it... the AEM CAI fits well enough (and if you decide to install spacers, it fits PERFECTLY)... all you have to do is make sure that everything is installed correctly and attached well and you won't have any issues
