It is typical ebay shipping policy. I believe it is the same pipe that MANY people have here.

I have an ebay intake

I got mine off Intake_power

Name:  intake.jpg
Views: 11
Size:  39.3 KB

It was 3 inches too short so I had to extend it and buy a Iat extender cause the hole was to far for the stock wire.

Yeah, he is making his money off shipping. I read in one of the big intake sellers on ebay'* feedback, and the guy said the label said $6.50 for shipping. So he is making right around 18.50 off of shipping charges.

Of course...Do you really think anyone would sell an intake for 7.99? I would spend $250 right now and get a nice K&N FIPK that i at least know will fit and work.

My car already has a cold air built-in so I dont need one, but anyway.
