is it piping and a filter or just the cone filter...if its just the filter i'd say you're paying too much..plus the install is pretty simple so you could save on some labor if you did it yourself

I think the obx can be found on ebay for like $60-$70 and install of an intake on a max is incredibly easy...

the OBX are small compared to the JWT/Stillen filter.. plus filtering efficiency is iffy with the OBX. you get what you pay for!

the filter and the adap. run for about $75 and its easy to put on. the obx with the center filter is the loudest i heard. it work just as good as the others.

Oh sir, you have been fooled. It should only cost about $45-60 & do the install yourself. It's big & it's loud & I have not had any problems. No lie, but your initial embarrassment for purchasing an OBX intake will be outweighed by all of that leftover change in your pocket.

Passing the savings on to you...
