Now that seems like theres something wrong, 10$ for something you put in your car? Is there a catch?

yeah, it's a cheap knockoff of the worst "CAI" there is... it's not even a cold air intake, it's a warm air intake. Get a AEM knockoff... they have more bends, and actually put the filter outside the engine compartment. The only reason to buy that one is for the chrome Y pipe.

i actually just bought that one from dr.speedy (only i got the blue one) and i had no fitment issues at all, and i got a tracking number almost instantly after i paid (by paypal). it took a week, but it was shipped ups ground so. the only problem i would say is his package was in pretty ruff shape when i got it, but nothing was damaged/missing. and again, some say they've had fitment issues, i had none installing mine.

The only catch is that it's not $10, it's $10 + $27 shipping.

And that intake is NOT worth $37. It's well worth $10, but not $37.

Get the AEM or the AEM knockoff.

The reason people up the shipping like that is to stop ebay raping them for fees..

Right or wrong theyre just trying to make a living without ebay taking all the money, thus, in the end it still works out cheaper for you smile.gif

I have that exact intake, and it sits below the battery and right in front of the radiator near the scoop.. It said it wasnt compatible with the auto, and I had to remove the battery and pan for the battery to get the filter down, but it went in fine.

IIRC I got mine for about $28, and with the quad plat plugs (NGK) and wires (magstar) my car was *MUCH* faster and developed a really nice growl at the same time smile.gif

Here it is fitted.
