Your take on a Cheap Intake???

[thebarber]

dont forget that the silicone connectors that come with the ebay intakes arent great either, hahaha

i still used it on my matrix when i had it and never had a problem.

i really cant see how you would ever use a lifetime warranty on an aluminum intake though.....its just a metal pipe......

as for aem....i dont like the dry filters, so id get a k&n oiled fitler anyways....they work out cheaper in the end becuase you can use the cleaning kit about 10x before you have to get a new one.....

id still get the cheapy ebay intake and buy a k&n or 2. for the same price as an AEM intake you can have the same thing with 2 filters for easy swapping/cleaning.....

but, fwiw, the sri i got for my matrix was 10 bucks US with about 30 shipping to canada......so i spent about 50CAD shipped at the time and already had a spare k&n filter.....so it cost me half the price

id still rock the ebay fitler. brand name intake are over-rated.
