Pop charger with this intake? please help

I was looking for a pop charger and z tube set up on my coupe.
And I saw this on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/03-05...QQcmdZViewItem

I know, I know, it's an ebay.(it seems painted, not even anodized.. ) But my question is this. Z tube is good cause it has less restriction. This ebay intake is just a straight pipe with slight bend to it, so how bad could it be?

Z tube set up has " z tube + filter adapter(which is 2/3 long as z tube) + filter" with rubber connectors between them. Doesn't this "ebay" intake should have less restriction cause it's just straight with no joints?

My last question is, would this ebay intake work with pop charger? that is, would the filter locate in the right position?

Any input will be appreciated,

Play it safe and simply get yourself a Z tube.
