Ive noticed alot of parts on are ebay are super cheap vs. The name braned parts. Im seeing some CAI for like $50 compared to a AEM, which is like $200+... im just curious do any of you guys have experience with any of these ebay intakes/parts? Do they work just as good? Or do you really get what you paid for?
I want to know what you guys think about it.

 

Like always.. You get what you pay for..


BUT In some instances you can be SMART!
For example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/01-03-Acura-TL-CL-Type-S-V6-Blue-Cold-Air-Intake-Induction-Stainless-Air-Filter-/291104782309?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AAcura%7CModel%3ATL%7CYear%3A2002&hash=item43c73277e5&vxp=mtrIf you can get that and replace that cheap ass filter with a K&N or AEM Dry filter you got yourself a nice CAI without CARB LEGAL of course (Important in some states like Cali). BUT Notice that isn't a real image at all!! It looks like an Injen CAI with color on top of it! Must be careful with that scams.. Always try to look for real pics of the product.


Also: You don't want 2 pieces cheap CAIs because it will be a gamble of fit and quality in our cars there is no need for a 2 piece design unless they are fighting fitting issues (Like those headers with 2 flex pipes).. Usually 1 piece CAIs are "better" engineer (Copied) from brands like Injen and such.. You can take advantage of that to a certain degree.

 

Yup, your right that is a fake pic. Im reading the seller reviews and he got alot of bad ones. Id rather drop some7 $$$ for offical parts.
Does anyone have ebay parts on their acura??

 

Bought a front motor mount from Ebay because of the free shipping. Did some research before I bought it double checked the part numbers etc.


I would trust a parts store over Ebay any day of the week. Just check for shipping specials, group buys or Acurazine sponsored vendors. Sometimes things show up on Acurazine Black Market also.

 

I found a 99 tl aem intake but its just the pipe and a bent filter.i was going to buy a new filter anyways. . Would i be better off buying a new one? What are the other parts i would need to install on my car? For the price he is giving me on the pipe is decent

 

i have the AUTOTECHNIC extreme cold air intake on mine seems to work OKAY high quality plastic pipe, no issues, luv the sounds, it's just the mounting bracket is garbage and totally diffrent u get what u pay for.

 

Whatever you do, dont get cheap ebay lowering springs or sensen shocks. Lol i know from experience
