Came across this bad boy while crusing ebay this evening....

Looks pretty decent compared to other ebay intakes. Just another option for those on a tight budget. Anyone got it?

 

hmmmm it was dynod...

watching

 

yeah that's what i said, looks kinda like the injen crossed with the aem/trd. i like that it uses t-bolts and has videos and charts to back up the dyno.

 

and when they say 07-08 its actually for that year!

lmao

 

impressive for an ebay product.

 

since i just got my inventory bonus i think i'm going to see how cheap i can get this for, just to be the guinea pig. i love "or best offer" products, espically ever since i got my exhaust that was listed for $506 for 400 out the door. if it ends up being junk, i've always got my current intake. i'll keep this thread posted.

 

Go onto youtube.. Theres bout 4 videos of the hps intake. I think its not to shabby. Give it a try.

 

Those gains are better than a lot of the more well known brands of intakes...

 

If its on ebay....dont buy it..

 

^^That may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

 

Wow I was for sure planning on replying "dont buy an ebay intake, if you want to save money buy a used Injen or AEM in the classifieds" but after lookin at the ebay listing I actually think it looks legit. At first I was like oh a dyno, yeah right, but they've got videos so I dunno, someone should try it.

 

Good product or good marketing?

Dyno could be anything. And since I highly doubt any one pipe is going to be significantly better than another pipe, those dyno gains mean nothing to me. It's easy to manipulate variables to get more power on a subsequent dyno run. Also, the videos don't show the dyno readings. It's a crap shoot as to what the given dyno is actually saying.

Also, comparing this intake to any other intake means little because one can't compare two dyno readings of different products on different machines at different locations. Just because this one shows a certain gain doesn't mean it wouldn't see the same gain using another intake that advertises a smaller gain.

If you're in the market for a CAI, then by all means, carry on. Just follow your standard Ebay skeptic's procedures. The extras that they provide don't actually tell you anything and the descriptions tell just as little (although they do have a considerable talent for restating "this intake makes power" in NUMEROUSLY different ways.)

 

^^^^ agreed on the part about the gains. 11hp and 13tq? that's definately a stretch. HOWEVER, it appears to be a quality product at a very reasonable price and looks to be competitive with injen and aem based on design and such. I'm in the process of working out a price with the dealer and will be purchasing this intake probably tomorrow if he agrees to my offer. I will be sure to post pics and give a full review.

 

LOL what a noob

 

I got my SR off ebay for 50 bucks shipped, and have had 0 problems with it, shop ebay a bit and you can find some great prices on things

 

Just came to an agreement with the seller, and purchased the intake for $165 shipped. Pics and review to come, stay tuned.

 

watching.....

 

waiting...

 

same

 

That makes me wonder - i know there isn't much that can go wrong with it, but honestly, 30 days? That doesn't look like someone who really stands behind their products.
