Do you still think a tune is a "need right now today" sort of thing? I will still get the tune, just wanna try this intake now that I have seen the price of the banks kits. That and this kit is a LOT nicer than I expected it to be.

Here is that same kit for 39.99 plus 20 shipping. I just purchased mine from this guy. He is legit, and so is the product.

they must either be hot or not true Spectre parts. My friend at O'Rielly said there cost on them is $87.14. And that is straight from Spectre not a dealer.
The picture of the box the intake is in on ebay is not the same box mine came in.

Did you get a warrenty registration card to send back to Spectre and a ID sticker to keep as a Registration #?
Doesn't sound right to me

They must be stolen, cause they came in the spectre box, have the spectre name on the elbow and the filter, and are just like the one I purchased at autozone for my chevy (only it fit my chevy). I will take a few pics of it, just how it arrived to me. Then post them here. Keep in mind, mine is for an 04 NBS.

Yeah, that box looks like the same one mine came in when I bought this last year, contents look the same as well. Be careful with that aluminum, its real soft and scratches easy.
