Intake on ebay any good?

Hey guys, I was thinking about putting a Cold Air Intake on my max and was wondering if this is any good. The price is pretty good compared to $150+ for other CAI's, was just wondering if there is any difference. Also is it hard to install and does it really add hp?

Oh yeah, it doesn't have any installation instructions included so does anyone know where I can get instructions?

It's really a CAI. Just save up $50 and get a Berk with K&N....something you know is good.

No problem....the GD's last day is this saturday. So you can look around if you want anything other than the Berk.

A lot of people bought Injen knockoff from ebay and it seems to be working fine for them. Just replace the filter if you do decide to buy intake from ebay

I bought the Injen knockoff recently, doesnt have any instructions but it was pretty obviously easy to install, took me about 1 hour. It works great for me, gotta love the growl!!

installed my ebay knock-off injen last night. lovin it!

fairly easy to install. although, instructions would of been helpful. actually, it would of been alot more confusing without a pic for me to go by. but i found an injen how-to here:
http://www.greghome.com/Greg's%20Garage/2002MaxSE/ColdAir.htm

had to bore out some of the holes on the stock MAF housing to make the bolts fit through. and had to take out a ton of crap. i ended up with a big box full of stock parts (stock intake, air tubing, airbox, resinator, brackets, hoses, etc).

love the growl at mid-full WOT! feels good on butt-dyno so far. hopefully once my ecu relearns everything in a few miles all will remain positive. no loss of low-end power as of yet...crossing my fingers on that one.

i'll keep you posted.
