lol. expensive items always keep high resale value because the lack of items on the market/available to members..

buying epensive to me is always best bet because.. people dont like wait times.. so ur loss on the nice one will be maybe 50$ in the end which is worth it to me

paying 50$ to drive baller

or paying 50$ and never being able to sel cause haters

The general rule of thumb is that you get what you pay for.

The walls of the ebay model are very light and thin. I would think this would make the intake less robust and more prone to damage.

The ebay one has to be cut and modified for later model cars by the customer.

The ebay snorkel is unpainted.

The ebay snorkel costs twice as much to ship internationally as the Australian one.

And so on....

BTW does anyone know what AUD stands for?

AUD = Australian Dollar

So the Muz snorkle is actually about $300 USD based on exchange rate.
