Does anyone have this SRI?

Has anyone owned this SRI? If so was it worth spending the money on it? What could you tell different about your cars performance?

It's the same as all the no name intakes. Just switch out the filter with a name brand and you're good to go.
The price seems about average.
As for the performance gains, you'll gain maybe 1-2hp... if that. You won't feel a power difference, but you're intake will be noisier.

Really a stock tube and a k and n filter is just as good. I found a article about this ill post the link when I get to a computer.

Is it cheaper?

[deevergote]

Is it cheaper? That's a fucking $14 intake right there! NOTHING is cheaper than that! As for performance.. as said, it won't be any better or worse than any other cheapo intake. However, that shit filter will not work very well, and you'll eventually end up damaging your engine. That is why K&N or AEM filters are always suggested. A pipe is a pipe, but you want a quality filter to keep your engine from being damaged. NO, a quality filter is not going to come with a pipe for $15. A K&N filter will probably run you $45 or so, but it can be cleaned and reused.

Ya I wasn't planning on using the filter they give in the listing I was going to buy a K&N or Spectre filter.

Then it is cheaper, as you won't have to buy piping.

Spectre filters are junk as well. If you want the best , get APEXi power filter. However , it'll run you close to $100

[cb7sk8rdude]

I'm just looking for something cheap that will perform better than what is given in the listing.

[cbscandal]

The only bad part about that intake is the filter. Replace that with a quality one and you're set. You're pretty much not going to find a better intake for anywhere near that price.

Personally, I like the look of the stock airbox, so I cut the bottom off. It's free and sounds great.
Did I mention it was free?

Cheap eBay SRI and a K&N filter... You could be set for about 75 bucks. Go for it dude.

I am going to say that you will gain 3-5hp vs the stock paper filter. I put one on my dads cb and you can feel it.

Your not going to feel 3hp or 5hp which would equal even less WHP.It might run better in a certain range through out the power band, but you wont feel something that small unless his was caked full of leaves,trash,rats nest etc.Most intakes show loss in down low tq aswell.Only intakes that give a better gain than your normal piping would be chambered intakes such as AEM v2,PWJDM,velosity stacked set ups etc etc.As for the filter i run K&N or AEM dry flow way better than that autozone Spectre crap.
