A lot of cheap intakes only have a pipe clamp to mount them instead of a welded tab on the intake itself and that is sad.
so, you're saying that AEM's powder coated aluminum is better than my generic powder coated aluminum?:bs: same materials, same filter, same results. a local shop did a dyno run with an AEM intake and a generic ebay intake, both made of the same material and both had the same filter and both came up with the same results. coincidence?
