WTB: intake midpipe or cai
Still looking! Trying to acquire the parts necessary to run cai setup with stock resonator. Specifically I'm looking for the cai lower pipe (into the fender), filter, maf adapter and couplers.
those ebay cai are crap, i know 3 people using those and their car has gas mileage issues, running issues and idle issues. those things look like they are made at home. the only noticeable thing is the sound of the throttle thats it. buy those now and complain later on.
Most of those ebay pipes really arent that bad. its how they're installed. All CAI pipes have the same design...there really is a way to screw that up unless the welds are bad and ive installed 3 on other peoples cars and they work just fine, and the welds are good.
sure its not a pr CAI but its not costing you $200
if your complained about paying that much for a cai just make a midpipe yourself out of PVC at homedepot. its been done before on here and will only cost you about $15

thank you hornepirate. What is the difference between a 3" aluminum pipe from ebay and a 3" aluminum pipe from place racing??? Not ****. I got one of the ebay CAI, a 3" K&N filter and an HTP MAF adapter. I got ~ $120 in my intake. Never noticed a drop in gas mileage, good throttle response, idles fine, etc.. Just get the one from ebay, cause thats about what ppl sell them here for. your price you got is so high because you charged yourself twice for shipping. It would be
CAI-$22
Shipping-$45
Canada tax-15%=~$80

do you think that one u showed is gonna come w/ the MAF adaptor you need?
This one actually says it includes the adaptor.

Also, y do you have to pay tax? i thought only you only had to pay if you were in the state it was shipped from.

dont use the cheap adapter from ebay. it will break, where the cylinder meets the plate, buy an HTP billet piece. and i missed something hornepirate said. he said you could make one from PVC. Autozone actually sells everything you need to make a CAI
Shipping via USPS, there are no similar brokerage charges - that's why I'm trying to get one off here. Besides, buying USED parts changes duty required to be paid.
Anyway, i'm hoping to get just the maf adapter, couplers, filter and lower pipe. I'm not intending to use a midpipe so I'd prefer to not pay for parts i'm not using.

TTT once again.
Have the maf adapter and filter, just looking for the pipes into the fender and couplers. No Autozones in Canada so, unfortunately, that's not an option.
