Default Buying a CAI, aesthetics main purpose..

I am looking to buy a CAI, mainly just for the looks of the silver piping. Based on this, would this one be a good choice?

Cold air intakes dont exist for our cars. The intake in that ebay listing is a short ram intake.

If you only want the look of the silver piping, get a JoeZ intake tube. Do a search, there is tons of other threads in the performance section

You can still get that since it's so damm cheap. The Joe Z tube is about $125 then you have to buy a separate filter. It'll give you 5HP max but it will give you some noise. I have an injen intake. More for looks.

If you just want aesthetics then get a JoeZ blue edition, that pipe is pretty sexy
