Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance eBay parts vs reputable companies

So I see cai for celica about 50-60 dollars on, ebay. I need a new filter and thought about a drop in in the stock air box but for the extra 20 I can just get a whole new intake. Anyone able to tell me if there is a huge difference in power on ebay intake compared to a aem/injen cai?

Seriously? Is this an already posted thread?

Stick with a reputable company such as AEM, Injen, TPR or K&N.
This is what a generic eBay intake for the Celica looks like...
