OBX DIY COLD AIR INTAKE PIPE 91-92 NISSAN SENTRA SE-R - eBay (item 390289291587 end time Feb-24-11 12:34:17 PST)

What do you guys think of it.

cold air intakes are pretty simple. In my experience, ones that someone made themselves often look better, fit better, and seal better than anything you can buy for a decent price. While $20 for materials isnt bad, I wouldnt be surprised to see that it has fitment quirks and that you need to modify a few things to get it to work well. You could get piping sections and band them together for a better look in the end IMO.

Also, on the auction it says "No filter, clamps, couplers, or sensor adapters are included. You will need to source these parts seperately to make a full intake kit. We are overstocked on the pipes and are discounting to clean inventory. This is a perfect chance for those who like to customize and fiddle or tune with how the engine runs based on your liking as the aluminum pipes are easy to modify." so im willing to bet it's going to be more trouble than it's worth.

damn its 20 + 15 for shipping from CA to FL for me thats not a good deal,IMO

Have to agree. Maybe $25 or $30 shipped would be better. Especially since they don't give you any hoses or clamps.

Yup when I saw this post I was gonna go buy one if it was 20 shipped.
Then I saw the shipping

And no maf adapter !

Any other alternatives for a 3" piping around the same price? I have 2 MAF adapters already but no couplers =\

Why not buy a 45 prebent ,some couplers,clamps and call it a day

Because I don't know what exactly I need to make it all fit right.

I could get that kit and 4 of these BLUE 63mm Silicone Turbo Hose Pipe Coupler 3"/ 3 Inch - eBay (item 320657962257 end time Feb-22-11 11:01:16 PST)

and it will come out to only 50-55 bucks compared to the CAI on there for a million dollars lol
