Ebay CAIs.

JSapit · July 2nd, 2007, 12:18 AM

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?

there probally just the cai cone to replace where you air filter sits now and you keep your stock pipe leading to the plenium (ithink its called a straight shot or something ) ........ the 150 + are probally the pipe cone and all the other doodads for your car

No man they are the real deal I got mine for 35 dollars shipped, my only complaint was that it was missing a few bolts but it was totally worth it. They come with both pipes, mounting bracket to exit the filter into the fender, all clamps and rubber bushings, and applicable gaskets. Best way to go in my opinion

The problem that I have seen on the Ebay CAI is that the finish fades prematurly. Every one that I have seen on a car that is 8+ months old looked like poo.

my friend got one for his civic it is just over a year old it was black when it was new and now its blueish, but the paint was still sticking well one day i felt like rippin on his honda

and that where i started then i went to his bent finned intercooler (Also off ebay) the next day he had an oven in his garage along with a box of powder coating stuff he just got done and it looked like a silver aem intake he taped it off just like there label its been about 2 months and it still looks new! i would get one over any otherr name brand i know for awhile the filters where mad by holly but i would just get a k&n filter

My buddy got one for is eclipse and it didnt have the hole for the mass air flow unit or any of that stuff!

all brand name intakes are good for is the name and their "performance tested" statements, i got a CIA off ebay and it works great, easy to install and saved me 100+ bucks, just look at the user feedback and pay attention to the description of the item to make sure you are in fact getting what u want
