The intake has to be replaced regardless of brand or model. So saving money doesn't really come into play here

But just running an open tube gives you the freshest air, not to mention all the weight you will be saving.

Actually it'd be pulling air from the engine bay. So, not the freshest.

Just run a vacuum cleaner hose out your bumper that way it gets a RAM air effect.

It's a pretty good deal. They copy Grimmspeed's design and then triple the price and sell it under some generic "ebay tuner" brand label.

Yeah I saw those too and thought they had to be selling a kit with some other parts, not just the intake

Hard to tell that from a picture. Your guess is as good as anybody's when it comes to what you will actually get.

They have like 15 listings. Some have info and some don't but they're all identical ha ha. So no just a crappy replica intake.
