whats the difference between a non name brand intake and a name brand

name brand = better quality than a non name brand

wow...


no name brand
-might not be as good
-not a reputable intake
-cheap

name brand
-guaranteed to be good (kinda)
-comes with a warantee
-a bit more expensive
-you wont have to worry about your intake killing your engine somehow

what kind of quality is it louder or faster

Usually better gains and better fitment with name brands. Satisfaction of knowing your intake should last longer than a non-name brand.

a name brand will be better 90% of the time

You get what you pay for. Go cheap an tells us how it goes.

its hard to tell sometimes, if you should go cheap or not. theres only one way to find out. some companies just sell the product cheap.

I don't understand...
think of it as you comparing a Toyota vehicle with a car someone built...which do you think is going to run better?
exactly. Toyota.
Name brand...this is common sense.

im sure i can make a better car then ford

hehehe shouldn't be too hard!

anyway, name brands are gonna be better more often than not. It'll fit better, you'll get instructions, and most likely a waranty

whats that thing called thats so important to us?? come on I know it. Oh yeah quality theres your difference. Its like buying a sony tv or a smith tv. One you know is good quality and the other is not a name brand for a reason.

Well, an intake is just a tube that allow air to flow through... I don't think there's much different in performance gain if you're using the same filter. Basically, the difference is the material that they use... the name brand one use a better material that are usually stronger and last longer or even conduct less heat than the non brand name one... just my 2cents!!!
