eBay CAI.

I'll move this post if it's in the wrong section, but I was just curious about them. Howcome the vendors on eBay are selling some 3.8L CAIs for only 20.00 bucks or so, but others are going for 150+? Are they jipped or something, or are they the real deal?

ok you go buy a BBK intake priced at $170
i'll get my Ebay $40 after shipping intake

dyno and see who makes more power


the intakes are all simply a metal mandrel bent pipe with sensor holes and some clamps....it cost them maybe $10 for it...the filters are washable...i have one

NO regrets on it

whats so special about MAC or BBK? do those come with a stick and a name brand? i'll pass

filter is the most of it anyway
if anything get a 3-4inch K&N filter

K&N uses different material
look at it this way
spend $200 for 4hp if you see that
$40 for 3hp

and if you ever plan on going with a s/c or turbo...the $200 intake that got you 3hp is going to be thrown away or sold for less the half the price

yeah...that would be fine. but I would go out and get a K&N or BBK filter to replace the one it comes with, which would run about another 40 bucks or so.

SS idk if i'm on the same channel but...

blue=holley as i said above...
holley uses the same material as K&n...

so switching from holley to K&n is a waste cause they r the same

I ordered that same ebay CAI a week ago. Put it on my self. BUt its missing 2 screws which hold the bottom of the metal plate in place.which isnt really nessasary... But my question is ,is it normal for my CAI to make a noise like a hurricane/sucking sound??.. MY dad heard it and was worried..lol i think its normal.

my dad also was worried when he heard mine lol he said it probably wasn't sealed and was leaking air. I'm not a genius or anything but I'm sure it's properly sealed. even my girlfriend was like insisting for me to bring it in to a shop and have them check it for me, jesus christ woman I wouldn't do something to my own car if I wasn't sure that I was doing it right.
