Default CAI K&N or Cheap ebay intake

Is there any big difference between K&N and a cheap ebay intake is it worth it to spend $200 on a K&N CAI or the 1 on the pic below

With the ebay stuff you are more likely to get something that is a peice of junk and the eaby CAI is chrome so it will absorb more heat when running than the plastic K&N.

my .02, get the K&N

Nope. I've cleaned mine on several occasions and they hold together just fine. You clean it exactly the same way as the K&N.

Sure...... We venture down that way to see Matt at Delk Performance in Lebanon,Tn. We can also wait until Spring when Beech Bend opens back up. We go there more times than a pervert goes to a strip club......
