Master says....."You get what you pay for"

Grasshopper says...."Its soooo shinny it must be good"


(Don't skimp out when it comes to engine parts)
(Think about this...crappy ebay part comes flying apart at 5krpm. Pieces of
oil soaked surgical gauze get sucked into your intake and gets into your head.)

Sounds like fun to me!!!!

Cool, I had one on my GSXR, that's exactly what happened. The inside mesh came apart, and I was cleaning gauze out of my throttle bodies for a week.
Email the guy, I get the "yoo rinstarld it awong" "We no wesponcibal".

I'm just saying you get what you pay for. If it looks cheezy, it probably is.

Dude, BFI your intake and be done with it.

Just go to Pepboys or autozone and pick up a K&N Air Filter. I got one there for like 30 bucks, cause i knew someone who worked there, orginally it was 60.
