I was wondering if anyone is useing some of those inexspensive cold air intakes you see on ebay or at local parts stores they run for about 40 bucks and if so hows the quality .

 

I've heard mixed reviews regarding the cheap versions off of Ebay and their quality and fitment. Some people love them, others do not.

 

you could make yer own with some 3 inch piping etc from the hardware store if you wanna go really cheap

 

what im trying to find out is why pay 200 when i can get the same results for forty.

 

I bought mine from ebay and it works just fine. It can with the true K&N filter too.

 

you could always try to find a used one on this website, thats what I did. I think I paid $80 shipped for one with a brand new filter

 

im using the cheap ebay one with real k&n,works fine but no dyno for you.

 

I bought a cheap cold air kit off EBay about 3months ago I paid like $80 or less than that I dont remember. I got it froma place called chromeintakes. It's looks really nice shiny chrome. But I had a hell of a time putting it on I was so mad I was swearing at the company that sold it to me. Cuz I just couldnt get it to fit right so I had to make a few modifications to make it fit. And after all that I didnt even notice and change in the way me 95 camaro Z28 LT1 ran it just didnt seem like it made it any faster or run better. I just got done today istalling new intake gaskets So I decided to put the original air box back on the Camaro and I got an K&N air filter to fit my car abnd put it in the fastory air filter box. Wow what a difference It runs way better and has alot more power with the factory air box with a K&N filter. So jusyt beware of what ur buying off the internet . Cheap is never better

 

best advice here.
