Default Is this cold air intake decent?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...971258991&rd=1

I'm starting to order my mods today. I'm getting the coated pacesetter headers, and ORY pipe. I was wondering if this Cold Air Intake is good enough to stick under my hood, or if anyone recommends another kind.

Thanks.

I heard it's pretty rough around the edges,like the metal is unfinished. I would recommend getting the John Ligenfelter one. I have it and it is pretty sweet. The price isn't bad either and it comes with a huge K&N filter, just do a search around here and you can get some more info on it, and the site to order it from.

I bought the lingenfelter one HERE I got it on sale for something like $135, it was easy to put on, and took only about an hour.

I have the gen 2 k&n fipk and it rocks, although it's a bit tricky to fit that big intake tube in correctly.

I have the ricer style one like on ebay. I like it, does the same thing as the more expensive ones. It does sit on top of your ABS unit and will rub the underside of the hood, dulling the finish, but the piece is polished.
