If your friend wants to spend $200, thast fine, but if he wants to save cash and get virtually the same performance, then go ebay with an K&N, JWT, or Stillen cone filter (theyre reusable)
The only bad thing about the eBay intakes is the metal...it is very thin. The eBay intakes are also not researched to produce the maximum amount of velocity for best performance. You get what you pay for.
If you are searching for the 'best' performance then go with Injen or some other name brand. The eBay cai would most likely not see as much of a gain.
