I am on ebay alot. This is the first time I see these.

$175 for a no-name intake?!! The thing has no brackets to keep it stationary.

 

I know.. as you can see no bidder. Short ram for hondas ebay brand are as low as $40 lol. If it was cheaper I would buy it and replace the filter

 

As time goes by there will be more and more of these knock-offs on Ebay. Give it about 6 months and they will go for under 100 bucks.

 

Hell, my K&N CAI from eBay only ran $10 more once you add shipping. Theirs will be $190, at least -- and mine ran me $199.95.
Plus, they're not showing you the seller's ID. That worries me...

 

They are showing the sellers id, its on the right hand side with 100% feedback.
You might have looked at the "private" buyer part to the left. ( *Hint, its private because noeone has bid on it yet, lol)

I do agree that this intake is way overpriced for the typr of material used and there will be alot of this in the upcoming months..

 

If they sell short ram for $50 like they do for civic, I definately would buy it and put KNN filter instead.

 

who manufactures these intakes? universal intake i suppose? lol

 

For the record, I bought one of the intakes for my Accord very similar to one your mentioning. The bracket was about an inch off (it later broke). I had to replace the coupler and the filter. I never was able to add the CAI piece, because it didnt fit.

I WILL NEVER BUY A NO NAME GENERIC INTAKE AGAIN!
