Did you take the MAF off your old intake and put it on the new one? Otherwise your going to have about a 3 inch gap.

What you should do is search for old threads like this. I know there are many with great explanations, but to save you some time, here is a link to a great site.

How much did it cost you?
Did anybody here buy the $25 one from ebay? Is it any good?

I did, it works well, haven't seen any changes in performance, but then again its been cool out here so, COLD air intake does nothing since the engine bay is cold. Before you buy one, do the research on how to install it so we don't get another one of these threads to go with the hundreds of the same type.

I got a 30 dollar one off ebay. It works great. Didn't really notice much performance wise but the little wooshing sound I get is great, looks great, and the exhaust seems like it might have just nugged up a hair in backpressure. Air coming in faster, Air going out faster, only makes sense.
