Default whats the downfall?

im looking at gettin an intake for the s/c. now my quwestion is what is the downfall of getting an ebay brand like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-08...Q5fAccessories
and getting a name brand and spend twice as much. i just dont want to buy a brand name and chop it up and not even use half of it. this is what im looking at doing

and also relocating the battery so i have less clutter. but i know i get what i paid for but really just want to know what the difference is besides name and price.

yeah an intake is an intake as long as it has straight flow piping and a proper MAF flange your good to go, just install it properly being a s/c and all. i heard tuning helps when putting an intake on a s/c tC going w/o a tune may throw off your trd reflash
