I always believed you get what you pay for. I'm not knocking the stuff on ebay at all, but I went with an Airaid and for under $300 bux the fitment was perfect and I'm very happy with the results.

my $.02

my buddy ran an EBAY cai on his toyota tundra for a long time..........it never failed him, but that is a completely different set-up from our cars..........i would buy a name brand product if i was you.........but who knows, the ebay might net more HP than all the others!! lol

JLT is fairly cheap the best on the market in my opinion.

I get mad every time I open my hood and see about $40.00 worth of material and such a simple piece I could have made myself. The only reason I didn't make one myself is I don't know anything about tuning these cars and I can't find a tuner around here. I highly recommend you buy a popular CAI from a respectable dealer though because a new tune is only an email away for when you do more mods in the future. Overall I'm totally satisfied with my purchase and the price tears me up but it was really worth it.
