Default ebay intake?

hahaha that was so funny, my cousin bought an intake from ebay for 25 bucks plus shipping so around 30. Hahaha wonder if it really work. Does it matter what kind of brand you get because i think it do the same thing for your car right?

Yes it will work. Just find a replacement filter like K&N or AEM Dryflow.

Think about it...its just a metal tube. The reason why AEM and Injen are so expensive is that it's CARB exempt.

It's a proven design. I think at least a quarter of HAF members have went to eBay route.

The only issue with eBay intakes...you're gonna have to plug up some random tubes/holes that the metal intake tube has...don't ask why it's there...it's just there. hi temp silicone should solve the problem.

You have a 98 Accord...which means the tube is long and spans the engine....more air rushes in as a result. the tube is really, really short in the 7th gen. Check out my pics to see.
