well for one: the injen is one piece, two: who knows if this cheap crap will fit right, three: that air filter it comes with is retarded.....

ive seen cases where the rubber they use to mount to the intake to the manifold rips on those types of intakes, i'd rather get a name brand thats been tested before, just my opionion

and my biggest reason of all, how are you going to trust people who write this:

COLD RAM-AIR Intake System for
CIVIC S-2000
2000 AND UP
ALL MODELS
INCREASE YOUR HORSEPOWER ~ BIG ~ NOW! EASILY!

what is a civic s2000? and i didnt realize there was more then one model of the s2000, "Increase your horsepower big"........

Look the same as the AEM to me..Im sure it will fit fine.. This intake has alot of adjustments anyways. I think AEM is a rip off.

I'd worry about the quality of filter. Also the quality of the pipe..

I have some crappy intake that I got for free from another member who got the SpeedCraft turbo kit so he didnt need it anymore. I took it because it sounds great. I knew I'd be getting a turbo sooner or later so I am not going to bother with a $200 AEM and HKS exhaust (I love that one). I like the AEM ect because of the sound, look, and maybe small power gain, but for some, a <$100 might be better since it will make the car sound great. It might be for you, with regards to most mods however, I stay with the best, BBS, GReddy, Tial, Volk, and all the other awesome companies. You really do get what you pay for but with intakes, it isn't that much of a compromise.
