f*** thats s*** is chinese as h***. first of all vacume lines r nowhere near the nipples on the intake tube, no gasket for adapter to run exposed airfilter, no nuts, bolts or washers. and the sleeves they included one was to short!

and i knew this was to come since it was only $30 and an ebay product, but hey $30 for 3 or 4 hp aint bad.

so heads up to nebody getting ebay special intake, be prepared for some......fitment issues.

Well, from your opening line of the post, it appeared that you were pretty upset...

lol i bought a bolt on "high flow cat" for 30 bucks from ebay.... it turns out it was like an inch short which kinda ****ed up my exhaust by pulling it tighter and it was just a straight pipe.. not a cat.. kinda good deal though cuz my cat is no longer plugged

My egay intake was pretty nice minus the filter... it was pretty much made to stop big rocks from getting in my engine

ha yea id have to agree, the filter they sent with the kit was pretty much not a filter at all, i could see sunlight right through it.
