Looks very similar to some "Ebay" CAI's I see goin for about $40 shipped. I've heard of fitment problems & having to "recut" the "Ebay" CAI's tho Has anyone tried the UPR one? Any issues? I'd rather get this over the BBK or MAC because it's aluminum.

i definatly think if your gonna go the cai route to do the e bay cheapie....only 50 bucks and if you don't like it your not out much plus you can re sell it.....
i dunno ask foxfan88 he just bought an e bay one.........but i'm guessing he's busy putting on his fire wall adjuster about now.......

yeah i got my FWA on heh.....
anyway... yeah i bought one of the ebay CAIs, actually its that street domination one (the first ebay link posted.)
i cant get get it till christmas but i have opened it up and looked at it.
it looked to be a good product, i mean its a metal tube and rubber things and hose clamps and a plate and filter. not much you can mess up here.
It looks like it should fit and go together just fine....
only thing i noiticed.... on the air filter they included, the metal cap that is on the end, it comes off pretty easy. If it would fall off it would be a straight shot into the intake, with no filtering. Its not too bad and i think some super glue will hold it on there. I doubt it would fall off, but i will be sure and glue it or something. Also this filter can easily be replaced with a quality filter....
But hell its cheap and as stated earlier i cant see spending over 100$ on a CAI knowing the gains will be minimal....
But i got curious, i am tired of the stock tube and such so i bought the ebay one. came out to like 40 something dollars. I like the look of them and i am curious to see what the CAI will actually give me performance wise. Some say it will, some say it wont, so i am going to find out first hand!

Doesn't the 1 u bought look identical to the UPR besides the filter? Look closely at the pics

My mom says thanks for the pearl necklace.
Stock box with a K&N filter is a cold air intake..you can't "gain" any HP unless the stock set up is a restriction..which it isn't. Stock box with filter supplies enough air for any 302/306 N/A set up and draws air from the same location as the CAI units..fenderwell.
