Lower cost intake

I just got one of these on Ebay. I recieved it last night and installed it. Looks better IMO than the AEM shorty. It's a bit longer when installed also. Way lower cost although he's listing it at the same price I payed for mine! He started lower and it didn't go as high as he wanted I guess. Still, it's a lot less expensive than a lot of other systems out there and it fits well. You have to relocate the coolant reservoir slightly rearward into a different bolt hole and then it fits great. I'll take a pic of if when I'm done with my exhaust.

I got the same one. I had to make some modifications to the bracket to push the pipe away from rubing the brake cylinder. I also had to cut a small piece of rubber off the filter's mouth to prevent it from touching to hot rad hose.

It sounds much better, and is unnoticable at low rpms. Best of all its cheap. But I am pretty sure it does not provide 8+ additional hp, but more like 2-3.

Really? I didn't have to move anything but the coolant reservoir. I'll take a pic and see if I mounted it the same way you did. The header is done (late night last night) and I'm installing it later today.
