What's the difference between the Injen short ram intake vs the others especially the cheaper ones you see on Ebay for about $45 shipped?

Does anyone use the cheaper no name ones?

the ebay ones don't work well because of bad design and really cheap filters. . . the injen intake has the cold air exnteion sold by UPFD at www.upfd.com

Filter quality is the biggest difference. There is also some difference in the quality of the finish.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

Dont go ebay. Its cheap nonproven and only works on high end full throttle. If you leave it on low end and idle the dam ebay stuff screws your car over becuase of design and when I say screws your car, it does badddly. I learned that the hard way. Filter makes a difference yep yep. But pipes does too for me. Go Injen since thast the only one everyone agrees true performance and safety on.

Thanks for th replies I was going to get a cheaper one but use a Real K&N Cone filter instead of the cheap filter they give you.

Now I think I will just get the Injen.

don't go for that cheap ebay intake. the minute you install it your check engine light will come on and who knows what kind of problems you'll have. besides, there are no performance gains at all.
