Cheap Ebay Intake

Sup guys, just picked up one of those $30 ebay intakes mostly for the air filter and sound. I was wondering if anyone has any instructions or has any vague idea of how to install it.
Thanks!

it really isnt difficult...just use the hose and clamps to set it up...put the two sensors in the holes...and use the mounting bracket to keep it in place

I used to have ebay intake too.
it's not bad for $30 intake, however, it didn't really work out for me.
too much rattling and it vibrates when I applied to brake.
I got figured to fix these, but I guess you get what you pay for.
I just ordered black powdered coated INJEN CAI system, and paid $209 including shippin.
good luck to you anyway

Good choice for $30. I got mine from ebay for $55 shipped. Took an hour and a half in install. Could have been faster but I wanted to do it well. I had to cut half an inch off the pipe going to the engine intake becasue the pipe was hitting the master cylinder (bad) under braking and hard acceleration and shifts. Took half an hour a week after original installation.

Sounds great and is well worth the $30 you spent. You will enjoy it.

Will get some pics of mine for you and post them in a bit.

Here is a link on how to install it if you have problems.

Yeah, was a good deal I think and the guy out in LA was pretty nice. Mine came with two filters. The one on the intake in the pics above and this one one.



I ran this one for some time and switched to the other. They each have a different sound (both good). Think the one I have on now is a bit louder, but who knows?

Yeah, thats what my intake came with. it had 2 of them and that was best way I got the intake attached to a secure spot. I guess I could make it look a little better.....? Not many people see under my hood though. If I were going to show the engine-bay off, i might make it look a little better.
