Whats the difference between this ebay intake http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-...Q5fAccessories
or the z tube and drop in intake.... The price is about 150 dollars difference and they both look the same and probably do the same thing... so what wrong with the 30 dollar intake from ebay?

Heat soak and air flow.
That ebay intake has no heat shielding whatsoever and, in fact, looks to me like it would be a pretty good conductor of heat, further degrading the performance. It doesn't appear to have a velocity stack. The system lacks air pressure integrity entirely and without knowing the specific brand of cone filter it is suspect, imo, as well.
Other than that, it looks pretty good.

But for the majority of the time, you'll lose enough to where you'll be able to feel the difference. And if you have hot summers where you are, you'll definitely feel that affect your car too.
