It's very popular to buy an eBay cold or warm air intake because they are essentially the same as the name brand tubes but for 20% or less of the cost. I have run them on some of my past cars but always had a quality filter laying around to run in place of the one that comes in the kit. I am currently running a $35 eBay intake tube on my mr2 with an AEM dryflow I had sitting around. So essentially I have an AEM intake for almost no cost.
My question is, what if you bought the eBay kit but used the filter included? What happens? Poor filtration? Doesn't last as long? Let's assume the filter does not fail completely or fall apart.
Anyone ever run one of the very cheap eBay cone filters?
