hahaha that was so funny, my cousin bought an intake from ebay for 25 bucks plus shipping so around 30. Hahaha wonder if it really work. Does it matter what kind of brand you get because i think it do the same thing for your car right?

Yes it will work. Just find a replacement filter like K&N or AEM Dryflow.
Think about it...its just a metal tube. The reason why AEM and Injen are so expensive is that it's CARB exempt.

It's a proven design. I think at least a quarter of HAF members have went to eBay route.
The only issue with eBay intakes...you're gonna have to plug up some random tubes/holes that the metal intake tube has...don't ask why it's there...it's just there. hi temp silicone should solve the problem.
You have a 98 Accord...which means the tube is long and spans the engine....more air rushes in as a result. the tube is really, really short in the 7th gen. Check out my pics to see.

I bought a short ram intake off of ebay and im in love with it. it made my car louder than stock in a good. its definantly worth the buy. the only thing negative about my intake is I washed the filter and it broke, so i just replace it. Its still the greatest thing I put on my car, so far.

Eh, I wouldnt buy one. Ive seen quite a few Accords with them (But not all) that the piping isnt easy to bend/break and the filter sometimes ends up rubbining against the battery or other things. A 30 dollar intake, and then the 50 AEM DryFlow filter is really only saving you about 30 bucks. Then if you have to buy another intake b/c it broke (probably unlikely) youll end up at the exact same price as the AEM version. Just my opinion.

I bought it and install it work really good to me. So far dont have a problem with anything. I could feel my car move faster. hahahha. Dude 30 bucks for the intake that work the same like AEM or other brand. It worth the try. EBAY guys for intake.
Work fine for me

You really need to replace the filter with a K&N or an AEM Dryflow. I have an ebay intake sitting in my living room right now but I am not going to put it on till I get either a K&N or an AEM dryflow. I would not trust that cheap filter on my car. But hey...your choice

B/C They are cheap and dont really filter much if anything out. They just let dust and w/e else get in there, shortening your engine life. Sure its a cheap intake, but its also a cheap way to shorten your engine life.
