like he said^^

the cobb is probably the best....but i dont think they make them anymore....the injen would probably be the next best:

but man, dont trash ebay parts....the ebay borla replicas are better than the actual borlas.....the ebay FMIC kit im running is very good quality and less than half the price of what a big name brand one would cost.....would i ever buy an ebay knockoff clutch? no, internals? no....but come on man, a pipe is a pipe!....i have a lot of ebay parts on my car...and have been happy with 90% of them and have saved a bunch of money....

you get what you pay for of course...fitment isn't always top notch with knock off and sometimes you have to modify the part to fit....but its worth it to save some money

but yeah, if you have no problem spending 300$ for very little HP gain go ahead get the injen....it'll fit perfect and look good..(something i dont really care about anymore...different strokes for different folks!)

as far as ebay parts go, you said you were happy with 90% of them, until that critical part falls under that 10%. you will continue to be happy then.
thats just not a chance i am willing to take. i would rather pay 280 for the real one than 180 for a fake. and since i have the money, thats a luxury i can afford.

thank you for the input

fair enough.....it's your money.....

question though...why dont you look into some cam regrinds and a pp6 (will be just slightly more than the intake and will get you MUCH better results)...or even look into a swap or turbo kit?

i've just never understood spending 300$ for somehting that gets u 5 HP (if you are lucky)
