the construction looks almost identical to my injen cai, which looks alot like the k&n ... so I'm going to say the gains of all three are going to be roughly the same.
The question is why is the Injen and K&N are 230+ and this one is only 100. quality of parts in question?

it does look identical to the injen. thats why i bought it. i always thought an intake was an intake. a tube is a tube. you know what i mean. the only difference is probably the quality of the air filter. i was thinking of buyin a k&n filter later on.

thats what i did with on my 97neon. i bought a short ram intake from ebay for about $40. then i put a k&n filter when that filter was old and dirty.

im not to sure about them, they have a spelling error on their site... "doesn't matter if automatic or manuel". if they cant spell, what business do they have making a peice of equipment for an engine that should be designed by professionals?

i Have this intake and it is identical to injens..actually these people used to work for injen then started there own company that i why it is similar to design. I have met the guys at ScionFx and they are really nice people. It is not as loud as the injen or K&N but still has noticeable gains.

For those that replaced the cone filter, do you guys know the size of the new filter? I want to put a K&N on there and was wondering if there is a specific size
