don't bother, cheap for a reason the filters are so cheap they start to disintegrate and that really fucks up your engine, plus the pipe is probably just painted with cheap mirror finish stuff so bits will flake off again causing the engine problems. you spend a bit more you get one thats been dyno tested and actually designed for the engine, not just cheap parts stuck together. ive got the pipercrss foam one and i love it, good sounds and good smooth acceleration/gearchanges from it

New to the forum, have to just state that i had a ej8 with a cold air induction kit that sat behind the front bumper no different to the aem. I paid around £40 for it brand new and it was an ebay one and can vouch that i had no problems what so ever with it obviously its not dyno tested ec but seemed to perform well
