is the injen intake worth it?

[chill3willy]

hey guys i have an 02 corolla and i was wondering if the injen intake is worth it cus i found an intake here on ebay


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

and its only 1/3 the price... so i was just wondering... is the injen intake 3 times as good as this one on ebay?
thanks

I assume you are talking about the injen short-ram, and not the Cold Air Intake. I would say it is not 3 times as good but it uses better materials like a nicer filter instead of that foam one on the Ebay intake. Also the HP claims on the Ebay intake are very exagerated. A short ram will free up a couple of HP at most, no matter who makes it.

I would say if ultimate cheapness is your top priority, then rock the Ebay intake. If you want name-brand recognition, slightly more piece of mind, and bling, get the injen.

cool thanks for the advice... i guess the E L prototype cai would be more worth it than the injen sri based on price and everythin else heh

I have an ELP CAI.

I really like it. I wouldn't have got it if not for the price though.
A friend got one when they were on clearance sale.
Then he crashed his rolla before he ever got the chance to install it.
He sold it to me for $150.00
