Well I recently purchased this CAI
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 492&rd=1,1

I have contacted the seller asking when I should recieve it, 2 emails later, no respond.
My first email was sent on Saturday and last one was yesterday.
Still no respond

ok, i actually took the time and checked the seller profile, he seems to be very good, however some ppl did not receive their items, and some complained about the lack of communication. in any case you should realize that you are fully covered by paypal and ebay, i suggest u send a few emails, and wait a good week or two, if the item does not show up u could report the seller through paypal or ebay and get your money back eventually, you can also give the seller negative feedback.. some sellers have bad communication skills, i suggest you wait before making any assumptions... goodluck

Considering it is Christmas time, shipping will most likely be delayed as well. Just don't let this go past 30 days, I believe that is the cutoff for ebay and paypal to help you recover your $$$ which is not cool in my opinion. I was ripped off on a B C Rich Warlock electric guitar a few years back when I was newer to ebay and I was basically outta luck for over $100 US. :x
My other advice about ebay Is make sure you know how much shipping is going to be before bidding 'cause some sellers like to hike the shipping cost to offset the low final auction bids.
I would give him a week for a response but I would be polite in the emails. You can also request the seller's personal info from ebay to get their phone number and give them a call if you want to get some peace of mind. Good luck...Barb

those big sellers dont even bother to reply to emails or send tracking info even a lot of times. the package jsut shows up. if the guy has good feedback and i paid through paypal, i sit around for a week before getting worked up.

**oh and and getting a response over the weekend is super rare

Juan,

Please let us know about the quality of the intake. I find it difficult to believe in a $20.00 intake -- it is just too inexpensive. Heck, a paper Fram airfilter for an mx-3 costs $20.00. Your package costs you $39.00 and has aluminum tubes, filter (cotton wan not specified), couplers, bands and miscellaneous parts. Thats a very cheap price. Please let us know about it's quality.

I just can't see how they can offer a great product as such an inexpensive price.

They can afford it because they get the products direct from the factories at factory direct prices and sell hundreds of products a month.

relax dude. Ive lost much more than $30. Losing a friend is worse than losing money. I had both happen to me. Life must go on. Anyways if you're covered under paypal they'll refund your money

Ok, thanks for the advice

I think the intake will turn out good considering other Integra intakes that were recomended to me were about just $10 more.
Well I hope
I'll let you guys know
I'll install the intake whenever I can

As for the Intake itself, I got a feeling its not going to be cotton, I'm not sure
