    Another Intake Question

    OK.

    As far as intakes go, I know some people swear by them and some people swear at them.

    I'd like to find an ELP CAI for my 2K2 Rolla, but I know that's not going to happen anytime soon. So I'm thinking about a SRI instead.

    But my question is, is there any real difference between a "brand name" intake such as an Injen for $200 and a no-name intake off of eBay for, say $30? :superconf

    use a PVC tube and a number 3 sponge in the end held with a rubber band.... super cheap!

    or the vroom vroom and no go?

    Theres no real reason to go for a brand like injen unless you live in cali and need a carb EO# for smog checks. I recommend going with something with a good filere placement location and add a velocity stack before the filter.
