This intake for $300, how much did you pay for it. Because it's just a filter

It looks good, but it's so narrow at the lip.

Sorry that looks like a piece of shixx. the foam on the inside will come out and go into the engine. same problem as the hks rs. Also this is like a No name brand. not K&N, injen, aem and etc.. Alot of cheap foam and It doesnt look like it will breath very well not alot of intake space/smaller opening looks pretty cheap. dont want to knock ur thing, but giving my honest opinion and it really is not worth messing ur engine up. U can try to sell it or just take it at a 200? dollar loss instead of a whole engine. I bought a K&N from my dealership for like 230 and it works fine and has cool metalic blue piping and I hear the bov and turbo spool. And best of all if it messes anything up then its not my problem. Best of luck and hope u make a wise decision that u wont regret later
