Precisely what I would have done. Good call.

About these intakes... listen. Since this site came around people have posted 100 versions of some intake that looks exactly like this. All are on Ebay, all probably come from China, designs are inconsistent and in the end nobody will really know how the intake performs. Someone might own the same thing, but instead of 360tuners or whatever this company is, they bought it from another power seller rebranded under some other name. The chances of anyone on this site even having experience with some of these intakes is slim. Its kind of funny really.

This is why I always suggest going name brand. I'm kind of hurt that someone knocked NST and Micro Image in this debate. NST doesn't even make intakes and both NST and Micro Image pays hundreds of dollars a year to provide us a service, so unless you're going to fork over a monthly payment don't go knocking our vendors unless you have a mighty fine reason. They keep us afloat.

I will always suggest a mainstream intake because they're tried and tested. We know what doesn't work... a few of them admittedly have some fitment issues reported and things like that. In a world where you get what you pay for, the only way you're getting a good intake for $50 is if you go used. I did... I have a Simota sitting in my room that cost me about that. Be patient and go that route. Keep your eyes on the For Sale forum. Forget these Ebay things.
