Default obx cai question

i dont know about the tc version, but ive heard mixed reviews about the xa version. most say the ceramic coated ones are okay, but that the ss ones suck.

if youre looking for a cheap intake, just get the Raceland CAI...honestly theyre all the same...theyre all garbage, even the most expensive TRD CAI which I have is garbage. If it adds any power, you wont notice it, most likely it might even decrease power...the only one maybe worthwhile is the Injen, which is the only one which has a dyno sheet to show some results...how accurate they are, thats a mystery...

installation on all CAI are the same, one guide fits all basically...

Im guessing obx is like the "ebay" brand intake? If so go ahead and buy it i'd say. I have all ebay upgrades and they have had no problems, almost put 8,000 miles on my car with them on it. I have ebay headers, s-pipe, cat back exhaust, intake, and an obx crank pullley. I love spending only a little under $400 dollars for all of these mods. If you have any other questions feel free to ask me.
