Ebay Generic Intake:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=270020017835&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT

Experience was OKAY. For a few bucks I guess I got what I bought..

PROS
- Cheap, Shipping was fast
- Very deep and mean sounding

CONS
- Pipe was to long, had to cut a piece off
- Did not come with MAF adapter (had to go to autozone)
- Sent me 3 1 foot hoses. Would have been fine except 1 hose needs to be 3 ft long. Again I went to autozone
- Cheap Filter - Autozone for K&N

There are alot of cons in the system and the filter is generic. But paying just a few bucks for the piping is worth it IMO. I know Ive seen alot of people with questions on these 'systems'. So here you go.

I just purchased one based on your review.

My install is going to be easier since 00-01 are MAP based and I therefore wont be needing the MAF adapter or cutting to shorten the tube.
