if youre looking at intakes, one mandrel bent metal tube is as good as the next, provided the same routing and the same good air filter.

the one that i bought for my car was a "ebay cheapo". it came with a paper filter that i replaced with a good K&N filter, and with buying the filter, and the piping, it was around 120 bucks. 200 cheaper than the AEM piece...

unless none other is offered, i would NEVER buy any of those ridiculously priced brand name intakes, because in the end, K&N filters cap them off, so unless K&N doesnt make anything for your car, buy a cheap intake, like i did, and buy a K&N filter for it...

here is a picture of mine...cant tell what brand it is...but it looks like every other CAI out there...

i think its 3" maybe 3.5"...here are a few more shots...i dont think that its any bigger than a standard CAI for a 3.0

it came with everything that you see, except for the MAFS...so from the TB elbow, all the way to the grouns (excluding the K&N)

One of my friends clamped a filter straight onto the throttle body. I don't know how I don't know why but that thing breathes like idk what.
