Ebay CAI Seriously?

[exindust]

Is it really worth spending the 180 bucks on a Mac CAI? or 160 for a Densecharger CAI? or should i just spend half of that on an Ebay CAI to yeild exactly the same results?

 

[cobra232]

get the ebay CAI it will give the same results and if not what`s the difference going to be 1-2hp? also www.procarparts.com has 2 different CAI`s for the 3.8L. 1 for $69.99 the other for $79.99. even on an 03-04 cobra different CAI designs wont make more than 10 hp difference

get the ebay cai. expensive ones are a waste of moeny.

When someone asks what brand we can say that we have Mac CAI, not "Dunno, bought it from Ebay". That's about the only difference, oh, and about $90.



Doesn't matter to me, it's all performance anyways. I just have a good paying job so I preferred to get brand name.

i just installed my Ebay CAI recently, and i love the way it looks. You can also feel the car pulling a little quicker, and a little harder, and you can hear it in some instances, just lets u know its working, lol

ok, let me give you guys the rundown, the cai that they sell EBAY are same exact product as any 160-180 dollar ones. EXCEPT
The only difference is the filter they come with is some cheap good for nothing restricting mofo.
thats why the CAI's are cheap, if you add a good K&N filter to that CAI the price will jump to the 100's.
So go ahead and buy the one from ebay and also get a K&N filter that will fit that CAI, and you will have a GREAT CAI.

I have a good paying job also...but the more money I can save in one spot, the more I can spend on another

 

[PonyJoe]

Yes, but I'd still just spend the $90 for name brand just because I can. Like I said though, it's just my preference, and to each his own

EBAYs only like $45 with shipping! same exact thing

 

[ChrisYellowV6]

yea everyone's entitled to his or her own opinion...no matter how wrong it may be.... lol...just f'in with ya. (i've always wanted to use the spot, lol)

I just got an ebay cold air kit, it's easy to install, looks as good as any other i've seen, and makes a huge difference in performance. I can hear it sucking in the car when I really get on it. Ebay for sure

Yeap thats why you got a v6

 

[PonyJoe]

Actually I got a V6 because I didn't want to pay over $300 a month for insurance. I could easily afford a GT, but I choose not to.

 

[ChrisYellowV6]

eh i could have bought a GT instead of my convertable, the only reason I didn't is because my mom thinks I don't need that much power........
lol just kidding mom

On my ex girlfriend's 2000 V6 we put a MAC CAI in, and it sounded good and helped with the pickup. It was all stock and fully loaded aside from that, and ran a 16.3 . Had I known about the Ebay ones at the time though, I think I would have bought one of those instead. The difference can't be all that great.

how heavy was your girlfriend? JUST KIDDING dont kill me now lol.
