Default How is this air duct any different

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA-00-06...tem300196623172

I saw this on ebay and I have seen plenty of threads concerning ebay intakes and what now...but doesn't J's racing make this duct? And this one is so much cheaper... its only a duct so what are the differences.

Yeah if I go that route I will definitely go with an ebay one. I guess I am not one for paying hundreds extra for something just because it is "JDM" Sure might be a little bit better quality material, but it is just a duct and thats it. Not much technology needed there.

As far as air flow is concerned no difference if they have copied the design properly and have no leaks.

The biggest difference would be build quality. The e-bay models may not line up exactly or may be a little thinner, but in this case, who cares?! Its a duct. I doubt that there is going to be a decernable difference between a Japanese Domestic Market one and a Ebay Domestic Market one! LOL

This is the type of product which you should just buy ebay ones unless you're crazed JDM fan (or just an idiot).

A couple hundred dollars and a nice sticker.
