this has by far been my worst online experience... i purchased an intake, and a 4.5"inlet hks type filter
first the intake. i figured its an aluminum tube how can you screw it up right? well when i get the tube it has small little dents everywhere on the outside. none of the couplers were the right size, and the inside as about as smooth as a mountainside. the welds were horrible and the intake was manufactured so poorly that when i would recirculate it would come right back out of the filter due to the shitty angle of the tube. this was causing me to stall out in between shifts. put stock intake back on and car ran like a champ. i emailed them concerning a refund and have recieved no response...

now the filter. it was a 4.5 inlet hks type filter. this thing was so bad that i installed it, ran the car about a block and the car wasn't running right so i took off the filter and saw chrome chipping all over the mas honeycomb. i emailed them several times asking for a refund and got no response. i left neg feedback on ebay and they left me a neg feedback saying i don't communicate. so i emailed them 3 more times and have STILL got nothing in response...

you get what you pay for, but now dsmer's know:
don't buy an ebay intake for you car!!

thats just what you get off ebay.... i dont think of ebay like i once did... to much marketing scandles going on. i remember it used to be just people trying to get rid of things, now its the same thing and they will just make it up in the shipping costs... i hate ebay now..
