Is there really that much of a difference in performance between no name and brand name intakes?

This has been covered EXTENSIVELY on this site since 2003.
A pipe is a pipe, especially when it comes to short ram intakes. If it fits, it will work the same as any other. The filter is the issue, though. A cheap filter won't work as well, and will likely allow dirt into your engine. A quality filter is necessary.
If you bothered searching for this topic at all, you'd have seen countless people being told "buy a cheap SRI and put a quality K&N, AEM, or Apexi filter on it".

but do people have fitment issues using the ebay pipes?Comment

Maybe. Ebay doesn't make anything, so anything called an "ebay" part can be any generally low-quality, inexpensive part... fitment and build quality can vary considerably.
However, I don't know of anyone that has had an issue fitting any SRI that was made for their car.

i might as well just go to the jy and find one then and mod it a little lolComment

Find a pipe in a junkyard CB, and it'll fit fine. Then plop down $40 for a K&N filter and you're good to go.

way cheaper than buying a whole aem sri intake kit lolComment

Yeah, AEM is overpriced, largely due to he CARB exemption (it's street legal in California.)
You could always look on ebay or craigslist for used ones, too.

How would i make one from home depot?Comment

i did the home depot . go look for pipeing the same size or a little bigger the throttle body . get some 20 , 40 ,90 degre bends or what you need to get it where you wont it . then run it to where your heart desires and tack weld on the way . once its the way you wont it then take it out and fully weld it. simple cheap and less then 50 bucks . just dont try to smog your car with it .Last edited by Accord problems; 09-25-2012, 12:29 PM.this was put together by evil_demon_01 .

Or just use plastic piping and epoxy. The intake doesn't get very hot. Shit, you could use flexible ducting (people have done it...)
It's your car, man. Be creative. Just think carefully about every mod you do to determine a) if it'll actually be beneficial, b) if there is any way it could cause damage, and c) if doing something yourself is going to be comparable to paying money for a "real" part.
