I installed it and it is well made, looks good, and surprisingly, is providing about 3-4 mpg increase. Don't know about power, since I won't have it denies, but it feels stronger. ( probably just the sound, but that alone is good) in comparison, it is better that the one, a name brand, I had on my Mustang GT in 01, and equal to the one, a Fujita, sold by GM dealers, n my Solstice, at 2.5 times the price. Unless you are obsessed with name brands and like to throw money way, these and others coming out might be worth looking at if only for the mpg.

Why are you so obsessed with your ebay CAI? Are you going to continue to keep posting until you prove that your ebay intake is better or as good as a "name brand?"
Since you have no idea who even made your intake and did no dyno/ AFR readings/ or track runs you have no way of proving to anyone here that your money was well spent or wasted...

We are all aware that you can get CAI, panel filters, and generic items off ebay. I reserve that for parts that don’t have the potential to destroy my motor like LED lights and stickers....
