You get what you pay for. Everyone has a different idea. I went with The Injen Short Ram(black). I bought it from www.wesellcarparts.com Great guys over there.

Have u tried the classified section of the forum under sponsored sales? I believe there are Fujita and Injen intakes available with nice discounts. I'd check that out first and pm the sellers b4 gettin an ebay intake. Like what tkanaz had said u get what u paid for.

That ebay intake IS the YDR intake. It's a direct copy of the Ijen one for a nice price. I have one on my box and absolutely love it. Nice price too!

Not when you consider it's like more than 3 times the cost! In that case it's the YDR with a K&N fliter all the way.
200 dollars plus or $69.95 shipped you decide????

I'm sure that 140 bucks plus could buy other mods too!

I'm sure that even with the discounts they are still way more money than the $69.99 shipped ebay YDR one. Sure most of the stuff on ebay is crap but I'm telling all of you that this YDR (Injen knockoff) is the real deal. I have one and have about 4K miles on it with ZERO issues! That's a fact!!!

From everything I've heard, the YDR on eBay is identical in quality and performance to the Injen.

I have no luck and suck at eBay so I have the Injen short ram and I absolutely love it. It's nice driving with the windows down pretending the ffffp noise it makes while sucking air between gears is a blow off valve....
...that's sad.....

i got my intake from ssuperstore.com for a $100 + 15 shipping and love it and it converts from cold air to short ram. the only thing is the clamps and filter suck but just baught a k&n fillter to replace. and it feels just like the aem cold air that i had on old blue

The above link has ended but the is another item that has been relisted and is still 69 bucks shipped. This has got to be one of the best bang for the buck things on ebay.

I got a knock off even of the YDR one, I think I paid like $30 shipped, already had a good filter from the AEM CAI that I used to have, had it on for like a year now, with no prob what so ever.

Just bought this very same intake....waiting for it to come in. I passed up a $135 Fujita for this. I honestly figure for half the price that it will be just as good.

Another thing to keep in mind is the year of your box. If it is a 06, they tend to be a little more sensitive about through codes with aftermarket intakes. I have an 06 with a fugita CAI, and have not had any problems
