Default Does This Intake Look Good???

I found this intake on eBay and it looks like it has everything like the YDR one:

I would buy the YDR...it is tried and true! And you can help support a person who supports the Scion Life Style!

the YDR comes with a K&N filter, this doesn't.

Go with the YDR

So about $50 shipped?

It's worth a try. Go for it.

Just remember, there is a lot of shoddy counterfit parts floating around on eBay. You usually get what you pay for. Be cautious. You spent $14,000+ on a new car, why go with cheap parts. I would go with the quality name brand parts from a reputable dealer or through the company. Yea, it will be more expensive...but at least you are sure of what you are getting.

from what i can see the bends are wrong.....from the way it is bent it wouldnt even go in....the onlee way it would work is if you turn it to where the braket that is used to keep it from moving is facing the towards and not away from the battery......if you were to do that it would b a pain to put the MAF sensor in cuzz the mount for the sensor would b upside down.........IMO looks like a copy of the Injen SRI but with the wrong bends in the tube but thats just my opinion

I believe the picture is just a backward plate or the graphic artist did that by acident.

They flipped it in Quark or Photshop. If it had writing on it you would know for sure.

Just check with the seller. The filter is not too hot. But the black intake is sharp.

Going by this picture, wouldn't the intake fit fine if it was installed with the MAF sensor facing the ground?
