I have a bugeye wrx i wanted a cai but was wondering if theres really a diference between one on ebay vs a name brand...

 

What have you done to your car already? Since you were asking about a BOV and now intake, I think you might want to start by asking where your money might be better spent.

 

I know alot of poeple say downpipes to im just looking affordability i got the bov for a good price it sounds good

 

So affordability means wasting money? More =/= better. You don't need an intake yet just as you didn't need a BoV. You should start researching before you spend any more cash.

 

after you have made sure all maintenance and tune ups are completed with the car and it is in tip top shape, the best dollar value mod you can do is tune it.

 

CAI's at best are worth nothing for horsepower on these cars, at worst, they cause problems. The airflow characteristics of most CAI's cause problems from the MAF, and frankly the factory airbox is pretty well designed.
Your best money spent is on a Cobb Accessport. It's not even comparable

 

It feels like 2003 all over again.

 

Spend your money on tires! Best "mod" there is! It is the only part of the car that touches the road.

 

Grap on my tired.

 

agreed don't waste your money on an air filter.







get a grounding kit

 

grounding kit helped a lot for me actually haha

 

Make a grounding kit!

 

Should I be the super awesome guy that answers the OP and says Nah there really is no difference get the one you think looks the nicest

But then say im just answering your original question to be that guy.......

Then say I completely agree with what everyone else has posted.......

At a minimum I am entertaining myself.....

 

lol As far as all the responses it is correct,Filter is the last thing you want to do unless you really want one.To answer your question yes the quality from ebay vs a name brand you will notice that goes with most ebay parts..

 

Still need to make this a T-shirt...
