I'd say either pick this up or buy a used AEM V2 off a aziner. an intake is an intake, most the time u pay for just the name not the product.

It will be fine. No different than ones you will pay 4x as much for. Although you could probably just buy the tubing and fabricate one yourself and save a few dollars.

Why wouldn't you trust it? As long as the couplers are sound and the clamps hold together that's all you need. There isn't anything to support it so you might need some additional hardware so it isn't dangling in the breeze.

it would work. But the dont expect much from the filter element and i bet you're going to experience some BAD BAD BAd fitment.

^ - The fitment issues should be fairly easy to address and fix.

I don't know about the filter. It would be easier, and still cheaper, to just piece together your own intake using a K&N or AEM or whatever universal cone filter.

I almost bid on this exact same CAI when it was listed for $40.. and was just gonna buy a K&N for it. But like subinf addressed, I noticed that it has no support or reinforcement. And I don't wanna piss in the wind.

Don't waste your money. If you don't care what kind of intake you get then at least get a K&N intake. Set that as your minimum requirement. And I don't like 90 degree elbow. Non-pressurized air won't like turning that corner just to get to the engine. I 100% guarantee you it will hurt the performance of the car.
