I ordered a s from short ram air intake off of ebay from eurotuning. I ts looks to be an exact replica of a specter kit from oriely's anyway i go to installing the kit and low n behold...the 3 inch pipe they sent doesnt exactly fit, the three hose connections for the breather valve and other assortments arent in the right place. i'm sure with some retro fitting some assortment of new hosing cut to fit to where it doesnt kink would work but they didnt send but two hoses, one to replace the hose on the erg setup and one for the crank pressure hose. anyone every deal with these people because its kinda starting to piss me off. I'm on a very tight budget and thought them as a steal. thanks gang.

Well this just go to show you that the old saying is right....

"You get what you pay for!!!"

You want something that fits right and works right and last long, you have to put up the money. Now if you would have just saved that money you dumped into that, and saved it for say, o 3 weeks and added to it, you could afford the "high end" product you wanted. But now your stuck with a pos that doesnt fit, nor work right. And you will have to put more money into it to get it to work, and still not have the correct output you want. OR sell it back on fleebay and get a quality product from one of our sponsors.

Anything worth doing, is worth doing right the first time!!! WOOT

there are some things you can get away with buying on ebay and not have problems. lighting and stuff like that is usually ok. once you get to the mechanical stuff i would stay away from ebay. like piper said just put that money aside and be patient. dude its taking me 3 years to get rims, intake and lighting.

I ordered some plug wires off of an ebay dealer and all the wires wouldn't fit. I don't recommend buying anything off ebay unless it's oem equipment.
