Yes or no? Is it worth it? Thoughts?

I got a generic one like that for my wifes car and it was ok, but be carefull about using that off road especially if you go through deep water. People also say they dont filter airborne particals as well.

For that amount of money, chances are the filter is a POS!! Buy it, and put a good filter on it, and it should be fine!! HTH!!

Rusty's makes an airtube that fits a 4 or 6 inch cone filter. The airtube plus K&N cone filter would be about $60.00. Here's the link http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...y_Code=PER_AIR

The problem with Rusty's tube is that it requires you to still use the stock air tube. It's really just an adapter for a cone style filter. Part of the advantage of any CAI is a hard, direct fed air tube that eliminates friction, which slows the air's flow to the engine. The eBay one would be worth it just for the tube and elbow, but get a K&N or Apexi filter.

bough one similar to that... replace the whole air box, but leaves the stock intake tube. i figure its an easy swap before a wheeling trip to put the factory airbox back in. but since ill be dd it alot, it will be on there a majority of the time. so if the filters junk ill buy a diff one... still $30 shipped to my door, im not going to complain about it
