Its a tube and a filter. As long as the tubing is the right size youre good. As far as reliability I dont think ive ever seen an intake fail provided that it was designed for the vehicle.

For that price, I would just get a name brand for a little extra because many people have been happy with other brands , such as injen, k&n, etc.

to be honest when it comes to cold-air intakes,they are all the same,u just pay for the name

in my neon rt,i had a pvc cold air intake in the car,drilled a hole for the sensor,and had it on the car for 25,000 miles and never had a cel or check-engine light on,and not to mention it was loud like crazy

Uh is your name Demar?
Sorry knew a guy named Demar who had a Neon RT and did the same thing. Course it ran pig rich and my 2000 Ford Contour SE (POS) beat it.

I know all intakes are the same I guess I wanna be diffrent and have an intake know one else has. Just wanted to see if anyones used it before. Also wanted some info on the claim of three times the air flow and if that would cause a CEL.

Again thanks guys!
