Can someone recommend a good ebay CAI?

I dont want to fork over $200+ for a K&N or AEM.

You can check out some pics of it in my garage. It was really a pretty sweet deal since those K&N filters run about $40 anyway. I did have to buy a couple of things to make it work though. A breather valve for the back of the valve cover. ($5) A grommet to fit in that hole for the IAT sensor ($2) and an extra 3" hose clamp. <$1.

Not bad, but you might want to rig up a bracket to hold your TB, as a lot of the eBay intakes don't come with one.

for the one pictured above they have it put together wrong lol, your gonna need another coupler.. the straight peice coupled to the filter is supposed to be the bellows tube replacement..

and i also dont see the nipple for the pcv hose that runs to your stock airbox, but your gettin a breather valve anyway..

thats awesome it came with a k&n worth the $ right there...

edit: checked your garage pics, didnt realize you had it installed, im afraid to see how low your filter sits!!

The filter rests about the same spot as the reservoir on the other side of the bumper. I'm not worried about it, don't really plan on going swimming :-) . Really though, the K&N does an excellent job of keeping moisture out. When I was cleaning mine under the faucet, no water at all would go through the oil.
