Are the cheap air intakes and mufflers sold on ebay total crap? Just wanted to know that and let the flamming begin.

 

I am sure some are. The problem is you just do not know for sure which ones are crap and whichs ones are not.

 

some probably are, as said before. I would just save your money and buy something you know is good. Like a Fujita, AEM, or K&N for example. I have the K&N and love it. (although i may switch to tthe fujita because i like how it looks better). Just remember that you get what you pay for, and your good to go. And do research too.

 

I know you can save a few bucks by buying the Bomz CAI, same specs as the fugita. You can get a cheap header from there too, just make sure its ceramic coated, the stainless and chrome, rust. As far as a cat back, go with something good, if for anything else, fitment and longevity. Ebay has all the Perrin stuff, usually a little cheaper.

 

ever heard the expression You Get What You Pay For.......beware of off brand Ebay stuff--and sometimes even branded Ebay stuff.......

 

^^^^exactly^^^^

 

Some people are ebay scared, with no other reason than a bunch of storys past around from others who also never bought anything off ebay, it is too bad. The "branded" stuff is what it says it is, but if you want to pay alot more just to buy the same stuff from somewhere else, feel free... I know i bought a progress rear sway bar for about $60.00 cheaper than any other site I found.. $120.00 shipped, and guess what, it was the same 22mm progress sway bar you find else where for $160 and up, plus shipping. I know bomz intakes are direct copy's of injen and fugita and AEM, same specs and HP for 1/2 the cost. You do get what you pay for, but paying more for the same thing doesn't jive for me. Shop smart, obviously a CAI for 19.99 is most likely crap, but you will find a good one for $60-$100, and pay alot less than others want. Alot of well known companys sell their stuff on ebay alot cheaper than thier own site has it listed for, just to compete on ebay. Take advantage of that.

 

Thanks for the insight.
