Its still $100 cheaper than buying it new, and this one is barely used, so i would consider THAT a good deal.
I agree with Bina. The K&N is waaaaay overpriced for what it does. The stock Nissan airbox is incredibly well designed so any gains from an intake are negligible anyway...why pay well over $100 more for a thin plastic tube that may or may not help? That being said, if K&N really has you believing in that extra piece of plastic then $250 is a really good price.
When I was looking for an intake, I was was going for looks...the site that I got my Fujita from powdercoated mine in a black crinkle finish.
As for the sound, I doubt there will be much difference seeing as the design of the pipes are pretty much identical!!!.
Just buy bina's and be done with it. It's a helluva good price and it's doubtful you'll find it that good anytime soon.
@ JoeIntakes for the 3.5 WILL NOT fit the 2.5...the mounting points in the engine bay are completely different.
