Hey, ive decided to just get a 2 piece CAI from ebay, with a reusuable filter, but ill probably but a k&n filter later, but i was wondering if this is going to fit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/93-94...QQcmdZViewItem i cant tell if it will fit over my MAF or not... i ahve a 96 z28. the mass air flowfilter it has to fit over seems like its ganna be a lot bigger than that is..

AW/whiteZ-28

The MAF's diameter is 3" and so is that intake so it will fit.

But IMHO that looks like a pos intake...

Really? There was only one other on ebay that i came across that was 2 pieces... has anyone else gotten a good one off ebay and from who?

Here is a post about ebay CAI's

If you can try to stick to a composite material for a intake i.e. moroso, K&N, Holley. They may not be as flashy but unless your all show no go then who cares.

If your wondering why the plastic materials do not heat up as much as the metal ones reducing engine heat.

spend a few extra bucks and get a good used one on the parts for sale site you will be far happier!!!!!

ps a single k and n filter will cost ya $50.00 so do it right the first time and get a good used kit for $100.00 and never have to spend more

Thats good advice. I got my K&N CAI setup used off this board for $115 shipped and it is mint.

I saw thta the K&N FPIK the filter doesnt really go down into teh wheel well where the vent is.. wuldnt it be hotter up there then it willbe if i got a CAI where the tubing goes all the way down tehre. . i also foudn one on ebay that came with a K&N filter already for only $40 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/K-N-9...QQcmdZViewItem

also, is there a way to tell if my car has traction control oin it? i am unsure and i didnt get a manual or anytihn with it when i bought it.. is there a way i can tell if its going to fit.. or if i can tell if i have traction control

The real K&N FIPK setup is very similar to the Moroso one, both mount the filter down out of the engine bay near the wheel well. That last ebay/homemade one you've linked to indeed looks like it sucks in a bunch of hot air, you definitely don't want the one piece setups...

On the two piece setup you were looking at, don't forget to figure in the shipping. Most of these ebay CAI's are doing a $20-$30ish buy it now but w/ another $20-$25 worth of shipping, which is a bunch of BS... I would not spend a total of $40-$50ish for one of these kits. Just shop the parts for sale section here and be patient. I got my Moroso CAI here for $75 shipped...

Does anyone of a picture of their K&N fipk installed so i can see where the filter sits?

You can see in that one pic of the CAI assembled, but not installed. That the plastic plate bolts to the engine compartment and that the filter goes down almost into the wheel well area.

thanks for all the info.. btw, are the SLP filters reuseable can i wash them and reuse them? i found a used SLP intake off ebay it was when the tubing was chrome before they switched to black.. the filters have 10,000 miles on them but iwas wondering if they are reusable..
