Expensive Ebay intake

Post by The General »

so I saw something on ebay for mx3s I havent yet, they say if comes with adapters for MAF and everything, just wonder if anyone has tried this and could give us some feed back. For $170 it better be good.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MAZDA-MX ... otohosting" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I'm skeptical, but don't know anything about fluid dynamics. It seems like different air speeds would cause a vortex @ the MAF, but if it made more horsies than my CAI (which cost around $90 with K&N, and all) it might be worth it. Somebody try it!

Yeah...those have been on there forever. To me, they're a real good waste of money.

You don't happen to have access to a dyno, do you?
If not, do you know anyone with a CAI that you could trade for the length of a tank of gas? If you get better mileage, it probably makes more power.
