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.

can i ask why teh metal makes a difference? only thing i can think of is that if the metal gets real hot itll be heating up the air passing through the pipe, and the filter is what will take care of the velocity unless the injen pipe has considerable more diameter on the pipe, its not going to produce significant amount of gains to justify 200+ dollars, again the filter will take care of the air flow so long as the pipe can handle the air flow...why in the world would you blow so much money when you can just purcahse an ebay intake or hack your airbox or make an oscai, and use the rest of the money to buy a ypipe. btw you need alot more than thin metal to decrease velocity in a metal pipe, i eat sleep and drink engineering material, in the end i think its just theory vs the hype
