what do you think about this http://www.360tuners.com/index.asp?P...OD&ProdID=2958. its 50 bucks so it has to suck right?

It's a long tube so you would be taking air from inside guard , $50.
is a good price for a non brand considering it's material cost is about $25.
the filter is probably a bit lite , but who knows until you buy one and try it.

It will suck, air that is, just like a super expensive one will, just get a good airfilter(k&n) Its just a pipe with some bends. Go for it

btw good find

Buy it. Just make sure everythings on tight and no extra air is getting into the system. Again good find.

Just buy an Injen/ AEM/ or Fujita intake. The only piece in these kits worth using, provided it's even built correct, is the aluminum pipe itself. The filter, mounting hardware/screws, rubber coupler, and rubber hose are all crap and will quickly fall apart. Once you buy a K&N filter ($40-$50), silicone coupler and clamps($15-$20), stainless mounting screws ($3-$4), and new hose from the valve cover to the intake ($3-$4), you may as well have bought an Injen intake off ebay for $129. You will save time, headaches, and end up with a much higher quality pipe. Trust me, I just went through this on my Xb...

Hit it, and quit it.

Looks great to me, things these simple don't have to be so expensive... competition brings the price on down and this is a prime example. The filter is fine I'm sure, throw on an AEM dryflow and its even better.

How a metal pipe could fall apart I duno... there really aren't any complex or high precision parts worth paying a premium for... a CEL might be an issue but by now I'd bet this is just a copy of a proven design.

PHXDEMON · 01-21-2009, 06:04 AM

There's something called engineering. any monkey can fit pipe together that routes to the proper spot. The reason why you pay 200-300 dollars for a decent intake is not for the supplies but for the engineering behind it.

PHXDEMON · 01-21-2009, 06:04 AM

That being said buy an AFE intake. best bang for your buck IMHO.

ddongbap · 01-21-2009, 06:42 AM

What bang for the buck? Its nearly $200 bucks, and you'll get a few HP at best?

Well, that'll go same way for a monkey putting an intake on a well engineered car. Like the Yaris, for example.

Thej3sta2 · 01-21-2009, 09:05 AM

yeah id say you buy it and test it if you dont get any CEL then ill freaking buy one.

ChinoCharles · 01-21-2009, 10:26 AM

If you're looking to save money on an intake, buy the first used name brand intake you see on Ebay. Leave this one alone, unless you want some oxidized crap-looking pipe under your hood in 18 months.
