Gen5 ebay air intake

what do u guys think bout this intake thats on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-03...spagenameZWDVW

it only costs 100$. i kno u get what u pay for but i head that it does not matter over the brand for intakes. so i want to kno what are the negative aspects if i buy this one or it would be a smart decision. i have a I4 05 camry on stick. and also i want to kno if installing a intake on manual transmission give better results than installing it on automatic.

as you said it really doesn't matter what type of brand it is and a k&n filter is pretty good so yea you could go w/ that setup...i'm not sure if they work better on manuals though

I rather stick with the OEM version. I would never buy a knock-off version for my car.

intake pipes are pipes, it's the filter that does it's job, a better filter = good

now, getting something like an injen one, mainly for those who live in areas where it requires carb legal numbers or something

^^^
That was what i was told by a few guys
