Congrats dude, please post some pics. It came with an original K&N filter??? if that's true, it's a steal at $53.
I want to get one of those myself, would this one work?
If you have the link to the one you got please post it.
Thanks-

I ordered blitz style intake from ebay too.
I'm getting mine this week, unless you really want to spend good money on intake, get Injen. they look nice and sounds nice.

I like the look of the Injen but I also like the look of a short intake, as a matter of fact, I like it even more. With the injen all you see is a shiny pipe, with the short intake you get the shiny pipe but you also get to see the cone filter.
I know some people like the look of the injen better and that's fine by me, but I'd rather spend about $45 for the ebay intake and maybe get an original K&N filter down the road.
just my $ .02

I assume that you can find it at any auto shop, here at K&N's site you can locate a dealer in you area.

Although, there have been arguements to the contrary...(and for the life of me I can't remember where and what they centred on).
dr_"$200 for 4hp? Sounds good to me!

Here's what I have learned on this and other P5 forums:
A C.A.I. sucks in colder(denser) air but can also suck up water. The AEM bypass valve keeps water out, but takes away any hp gains for a C.A.I.
A short ram (AEM) intake sucks hotter air because of it's proximity to the engine, BUT, the air has a shorter distance to travel to get into the engine. so it's less turbulent.
The Injen is not as loud as the AEM.
Corrections?
