Some people have them and like them. Some of the hoses don't fit, so buy new ones and you are good to go.

Just be careful. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

Installed the $43 ebay intake today. Not too difficult, using AEM's instructions I found on the forums. The quality isnt too bad, not the greatest, but considering the price its adequate. Only 2 issues that caused some trouble were that the cam cover breather pipe/hose wouldnt reach the location provided on teh polished CAI tube. I had to use the supplied yellow silicone hose to hook it up. Also, there is no provision on the CAI tube to hook up the 3/4" breather hose that is normaly attached. Had to go out and get a cheap breather filter from Autozone to plug into the hose. Otherwise it looks great and was well worth the price.

YMMV

Very loud/aggressive above 6k rpm. Deeper than stock under 6k rpm. Butt dyno might be being influenced by the "sights 'n' sounds dyno" ...
