    Im by nature wary of E-Bay Products, but i have to admit, they have alot of postive feedback, and the only problem i could see with the intake as all those sharp bends in the piping.

    Default Allowing your engine to suck in more cold air resulting in better throttle response &

    Good ole E-Pray.com. These E-Bay store get all of their goods the same place that Wally-World (Wal-Mart) does; China. Chinese made intakes are notorious for have cheap filters and extremely thin-walled tubing. Sometimes, they are not even made out of aluminum.

    By the way, this statement mad is not entirely accurate.
    1. ALLOWING YOUR ENGINE TO SUCK IN MORE COLD AIR RESULTING IN BETTER THROTTLE RESPONSE & TO STOP SUCKING IN HOT AIR FROM HIGH TEMPEARTURE ENGINE COMPONENT.

    The OEM intake box draws air directly in from the inner fender just as all CAI intakes do. They just do it lower down the inner fender void.

    Go ahead and save up for an Injen intake. And yes, you can get it in a short ram because their intakes convert to either one.
