I see CAIs like this [ cgi.ebay.com] one a lot. I'm assuming these are crap, but what makes them different from good ones like AEM, etc?

cheap construction, poor materials. There is a reason the AEM and Injen ones are expensive. You get what yu pay for with car stuff 
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
and sung with exultation
To know even one life has breathed easier
This is to have succeeded.

they've got a bunch of other cheap stuff at the bottom like exhaust, headers, etc. wow, can you imagine if prices were really like that? i could've gotten a cat back exhaust, new headers, Intake, reverse gauges, and a "JDM shifter" all for less than my AEM.

Problem with "NO NAME" Items -They do not fit RIGHT OR AT ALL... P.S.Please do not buy that trash... P.P.S.And it's not about the price... It's been proven that no name items are bad in 99% .

I didn't have any plans to buy an eBay CAI, I was just curious why they're so bad. Thx for the info
