Intake Question ??
Hello Members, so my GF ordered me this cheap ebay intake, I told her I was looking at an AEM or Injen, but I guess this is what I am getting. It seems like this will not work, but I could be wrong, any input would help, it seems like this intake is missing something compared to my stock intake tubing.

Thank you

If it fits, it fits. Meaning unless you are racing, you won't notice a whole lot of difference between different CAIs. It's just a metal tube from your Intake MF to your wheel well. Even if its not metal, its not a huge difference. It'll be better than OEM either way.

As long as it fits to your intake manifold, nothing else really matters that much.

If it fits that intake should work very well, thank your girlfriend for being thrifty!
One thing I would do though is change the filter, I have heard great things about the Injen/Amsoil filter, or the AEM DryFilter. At the very least get a pre-filter like the one Injen offers
