The cheap ones work exactly the same and will sound the same and yield the same 2 hp in the top end as AEM but the fitment and quality of materials won't be the same. You'll get what you pay for. The e-bay $20 CAI will probaly come w/o a mounting bracket, cheap air filter, no crankcase vent hole or 2ndary air injection pump hole ect. ect . The S2000 is a 30K plus car so don't you think you can save a few more bucks and get something that's got some quality and is carb certified? Save the cheap intake for your beater Civic instead.
