LS fabricated intakes

I am looking to buy a LS fabricated intake for my engines.
I found on Ebay two intakes one from Assaults Racing Engines for $800.00
the other is from CGM Motorsports for $1800.00
Does anybody know the difference the two intakes.

Fabricated LS intakes from random Ebay vendors? What could possibly go wrong?

I think both of those intakes are built at the same place. Look at the map and vacuum connection.

What makes that intake junk? May get one of these and have a local guy look flow test and massage it and test. Cheap for a fabricated intake... ill agree... those who call it just other than saying china crap... its all the same material... used to channel air. Just seeing what yall think
