Hey i was on e-bay today and i am considering buying one of those air dynamics intakes for my integra (they go for around 30-45$) I figured it was a good deal…does anyone on here have 1? If so are they hard to put on? Thanks for any info!
i got a cheapy intake off of ebay. It works just fine. Personally i think spending $70-$150 for a short ram is a rip off! The cheap ones are just the same, just w/ no name on them. The filter might not flow quite as well as a real k&n, but the difference is probably negligable.
definetely buy the ebay intakes. buy the short ram, buy some 3" mandrel bent piping, and make your own CAI. Save yourself like $100+ and have the same results.
I got the Air Flow Dynamics one you are talking about. It fits great, works great, and I am completely satisfied with it.
i love mine!
i got mine for $45 shipped in 2 days. i also went and got a breather filter and some blue vacume tubes.
I got my intake off ebay… ive compared it to name brand ones… mine has less bend… 2 inch of polished chrome inside and out!!!
crazy… and its loud…louds not too great though…dont buy an AEM Short Ram or anything else… just a rip
dont kill me but i got my AEM cold air intake plus a K&N filter, for 135 shipped off of ebay
I found a no name cold air off ebay for my friend car about a yr ago for 120 shipped. chrome piping and red connectors. Go to www.speedaddicts.net and look under customers cars to check out how it looks…good sound and good performance…I personally like going with name brands though…
i outta put a fat ebay sticker on my car
i got a short ram for 52, exaust for 129, short shifter for 19, lowering springs for 25.
gotta lub noname crap!
HEHE
and if you really want you can go out and buy a K&N cone filter and put that on the end of your no name intake. that’s how I have mine right now, I bought a used intake off someone on this board, I already had a K&N cone, and it fit on the end of the pipe perfectly. now for the cold air extension…
I did the same thing, I bought the 24.95 short ram and robbed the DC Sports/K&N Filter off my 92 Lude’s intake. It works just fine. Sure, there are no support brackets for it, but the pipe weighs maybe half a pound. If you want an extra 1.5 horsepower out of a short ram, buy an AEM. I would have bought an IceMan intake setup without hesitation, but my car has friggin ABS!
Which is Better?
I want to add some h.p., but I don’t want to wake the neighbors up when I come home at night.
Which is better?.. The Ram Air Intake… maybe different brands are louder??? OR The Air Box trick shown in the Tips and Tricks. Does that add H.P? Is it Loud?
Sorry, I’m not a wrench head.
Oh, yeah. If you get the intake. It should be Specific for your car… right? My friend has a 93 Accord, and has an intake he’d sell me cheap. But it looks like there’s another hose on my car, that there isn’t a hook-up for on his intake.? What’s the deal?
I also bought a “cheap eBay intake”.
$50 shipped to my door in 3 days.
Just last weekend I spent $6 @ Lowe’s Hardware and made a cold air extension for it.
So, for $56, I got a cold air intake that works just fine.
When I open the hood and feel the intake tube after driving for a while, it’s not NEAR as hot as it use to be without the cold air extension. And I DIDN’T use the mandrel bent pipe. This was way easier. Took about 10 minutes total time. (that’s if you already have your resonator removed).
Email if you want to know more.

I also have one. I like it a lot, I feel like I got a good deal.
DJ Desperado - Generally, you buy stuff for the car, rather than the engine. It’s possible your friend’s intake might fit, though, if you want, you could compare it to the stock intake, see if it’s about the same size and shape. My intake had two hoses that needed to be connected.
Yeah, see my car has 2 hoses, but there’s only a place to hook one of them up on his intake. I don’t want to just leave one hangin… especially not knowing exactly what it is.
I’ll just get one off eBay, specifically for my car.
Thanks
well, thats what i did… one of the hoses have been hanging there for like 4 months…oh well
I bought a ebay CAI for 65shipped… I’m very happy with it.
Well, one is on the way, from eBay. under 40 bucks shipped.
Can’t go wrong for that price. If I don’t like it… just sell it to someone here in town w/ a G2. 
Lol… i think i beat you all… my intake costed 32$ off ebay shipped
The only reason to get a name brand intake is heat. Cold Air Intakes such as Iceman (PVC) and AEM Cold Air Intake (Powder coated with heat resistant paint) are made to stay cold. Whats the point of using a cold air intake if the air goes through a hot pipe and gets heated up? However with a short ram since it pulls its air from the engine bay its already hot so that doesnt matter.
Ebay Cold Air Intake: I wouldnt use one.
Ebay Short Ram Intake: I had one before my AEM CAI, it worked good, my engine is just ridiculously hot so I needed a cold air to not lose hp.
