just use a good filter and you will be fine

there is a lot of people on here who say expensive is better but its like buying off brand a the supermarket, half the time its the same exact thing with a different label

Your correct, sort of... Half the time it looks the exact same and works just fine. The other half the time it has blatently crappy welds, is the wrong diameter tube, or just plain won't bolt in cleanly. However, all the time the materials are of poor quality.

And for those of you using these crap Chinese filters, do your car a favor and replace it immediatley. If you think they are doing their job your insane...

be even cheaper like me, hack some holes in your airbox, probably just as loud. HP gain who knows I mean it makes what 100 hp factory. Even if you get a reputable intake or pay double for one to make the car even faster, won't make much of a difference on a engine that was not designed for hp. I understand the it is great to get a gain in hp but I think there is little diference from one intake to the other.Now if instead of a air intake we were talking about forged rods, pistons, valves, ecu, etc, yeah get the better product with a good and proven reputation.

just my opinion, maybe I am crazy, don't know

Take this how you want , you people bagging this system are pathetic ,
if it was NST, Micro image , and so on, you would be all over it like a heat rash. And pay 4x that price.
Until you have used said product , how can you say what it is like .
advise is good , guidance is better , but bull shit bagging of a product because
you paid 4x that for your one is hard luck.

I've never been all over NST or Micro Image parts. I have never given Micro Image any business and have been skeptical (argueing engine longevity) of lightened pulleys in many old threads. The intake I own (which is powder coated black)was $50 and is crap... Any more theories you want to put out there?

And I support low prices. Sadly, high quality materials cost money...
