Default CAI off ebay good or bad??

Hey guys I was thinking of buying a CAI for my mustang.I was wondering what the difference is buying a CAI from say K&N for $250
and Ebay for $50 to $100 .I know the saying you get what you pay for, but what can be different.. its just stainless pipes and a filter.

You get what you pay for, better gains in HP from a fender wall intake.
I suggest you look at some name brands of intakes. and know what exact model you will be looking for. Then search eBay for the best prices.

stuff off e-bay is crap. like he said you get what you pay for. The best intake you can get for your v6 is a demolet tuneable intake, filter yes, stainless pipes no, it is a plastic material disperses heat really fast. You can usually find them for about $180
