I just wanted to get input from some people.

Yup, it's a POS. Poor fitment and crappy filter.

Well, that's about that. Don't really need another answer to that filter.

Get the MAF adapter 85mm ID, then get a K&N Ru-1875 or 3530.

Easy as that.

When i first bought my Svt tour i bought one of them intakes Theres garbage they dont fit very well look cheap and perform cheap.

will the K&N Ru-1875 or 3530 filters only fit if you have the MAF adapter 85mm ?

I don't know why everyone hates on these intakes. I'm sure there are some Crap ones out there, but I got one off Ebay and it's perfect. Fits, sounds, looks awesome. it even butts right up to the factory air induction deal on the fender. I like it personally...

yea mines fine, but i am going to get the ru-3530 and bigger maf adapter

I've got an ebay intake, I dont like it, The MAF adaptor is smaller than the MAF and the tubes kept coming out, spend the money and get a quality intake.

get the K&N mentioned and go to ssd4u.com for the MAF adapter...email them and say you need the adapter only...it's like 20 bucks or something.

I had no problems with install, i got ties for the tubing and everything was lined up fine. For 30$ what do you except tho, if you want to pay an extra 100 yea everything should be absolute perfect tho.

I just called ssd, and they said they don't carry that part any more.. So i'll have to find one somwhere else.

I'm glad this thread came up. I was about to ask because I was interested in intake pipe along with the maf adapter since mine has a stripped thread. I think I'll just use a thread repair thingie and wait to buy a better quality intake pipe.

There just cheap.There dont fit very well.Cheaply made.My always hang low and scrapped the fender were the filter sat.From the motor torqueing and the intake moving all the time.

you have to adjust for that. like making it shorter and such. but if you cant spend any more money than $30 it will work. just expect to have to play around with it. i got mine to fit into Pud's heat shield.
