I have never seen aluminum tubing that thin. I was able to crush it using one hand (turning round in to oval). This intake system was clearly made in china at a cost of no more than $60, then branded and re-sold here at a ridiculous mark up. Just some food for thought I guess.
So your saying the aby one isnt a bad idea?

bump...more opinions???

The one you linked has the diameter transition too close (before) to the MAF sensor, so it may cause problems. Hard to say without testing.

However, the K&N intakes don't follow the rules either when it comes to having a flow sensor/meter inside a tube, so it may be fine.
